Both are new Yaesu VXR-5ØØØ repeaters with a 1ØØ watt RF Amplifier on both VHF and UHF. This repeater system is also interfaced to the Echolink internet system. With this system you can talk in on eather the 2 meter, or the UHF repeaters.

This repeater has dual receivers, one on 5Ø.4ØØ mhz AM carrier squelch, and one on 449.75Ø mhz FM with a CTCSS tone frequency of 192.8 hertz. The dual transmitters are on 444.75Ø mhz FM encoding CTCSS tone of 192.8 located on High Ridge tower, and 5Ø.7ØØ mhz AM transmitter located in Barnhardt, MO.

3. The Third AMARC repeater system consists of a UHF repeater interfaced to a Multi-band, Multi-mode radio. This UHF repeater is a new VXR-5ØØØ repeater receiving at 449.85Ø mhz with the CTCSS decode frequency of 192.8 hertz, and transmitting at 444.85Ø mhz encoding CTCSS tone frequency of 192.8 hertz with a 1ØØ watt RF amplifier. The interface is a ICS Linker II touch-tone controlled switching system. The multi-band radio is a Yaesu FT-1ØØD. This multi-band radio can be programmed to operate any mode of frequency on any HF to UHF band, but plans are for the following frequencies:
UHF Band: 444.ØØØ FM simplex.
2 Meter Band: All of the 2 meter FM simplex frequencies, as well as 144.24Ø usb simplex.

In order to obtain your license you will need to take the FCC examination from a ARRL authorized Volunteer Examiner for any of the three radio classes.
1. The Technician class is the basic class. It requires a basic written test only.
2. The General class requires some advanced knowledge of radio theory and a 5 WPM morse code test.
3. The Amateur Extra class is the top dog. It requires an advanced written test and a 5 WPM code test.
We have PDF files posted on this web site with all of the updated, FCC questions and answers for the Technician class license. You can view, or save these files, and start practicing right away.
If you want to print the PDF, it will take over 9Ø pages, so if you want the questions on paper, we recommend that you obtain a current questions and answers book from the ARRL, but for computer study our PDF files will do just fine.
