Mt Roberts.jpg (16251 bytes) JARC's Downtown Juneau Repeater (KL7JRC-R) is located on Mt. Robert's  seen here from across the channel in Douglas, Alaska.  No need to worry about your handy talkie from cruise ships as the repeater is a thousand feet over your head!

A repeater users guide is provided to all JARC Members.  The guide includes instructions for the use of features such as autopatch, autodial, reverse patch, time, and signal strength reports.  The following repeater information is for visitors and those who can't remember all that stuff!  Printable Diagram of the repeater system:  Repeaters in the Juneau Area.

These repeaters are linked, and share an autopatch.  * plus number to dial and # to hang up.  Both are open repeaters and visitors are welcome.   Unlike "lower 48" repeater use is encouraged and there is no need to go simplex which doesn't work all that well in the terrain.  However, please frequently pause so other traffic can have an opportunity to break.

The repeater custodian is Howard Shepard, AL7BP.  Control Operators are KL7HFI, and WA6AXO.  If you are having a problem accessing a repeater function, as for assistance.  There is usually someone who is monitoring the repeater frequencies and can help out.
