 The VHF repeater consists of a Kendecom KRP 5000, 30 watt radio with controller, and a 6 cavity Sinclair Q201G VHF duplexer. The UHF link system consists of a GE Royal Imperial 30 watt UHF radio, a 6 cavity Sinclair  MR-356 duplexer, an Advanced Receiver Research P432VDG  pre-amp and an Astron RS-20A to power supply.
