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.
