Cheyenne Mountain Site
The Cheyenne Mountain radio
site is located on the southwest side of Colorado Springs at an elevation of 9,000
ft. The 145.160 repeater covers from Monument Hill to the north, almost to New
Mexico to the south along I-25, and other areas of southeast and south central
Colorado.
145.160
-- The 145.160 MHz (input -.600 MHz) W0CRA/R two-meter repeater provides coverage
to Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and other areas of southeast and south central Colorado
for the 147.225 System. This repeater is linked full time to the 147.225
and 224.980 Conifer Mountain repeaters. The 145.460 Boulder
repeater can be linked by any user from 145.460. This link allows travelers along
Interstate-25 to maintain contact with users of the 147.225 System in other
areas by extending the coverage to the southeast -- switch to this repeater at
mile marker 170 on Interstate-25. The club's Denver Metro autopatch may be accessed
here -- we do not have a local autopatch in Colorado Springs.
This repeater does pass
DTMF tones. The repeater requires a CTCSS tone of 107.2 Hz for access. The repeater
transmits a CTCSS tone of 107.2 Hz for your use in blocking interference to
your receiver.
The repeater is comprised
of a General Electric Master II repeater, an S-COM
7K controller, Wacom duplexer and 9-dB antenna aimed at Pueblo.
The repeater was moved
to the Cheyenne Mountain radio site on July 6, 1996, from its previous site
in northeast Colorado Springs. This move has the advantage of increasing the
repeater coverage in southeast and south central Colorado as well as improving
the link path used to link the repeater to the club's Conifer Mountain site
and 147.225.
