The KC7GSA/R2 Repeater is now ON
AIR
"Power 64" is Now serving Bullhead City, AZ, Laughlin,
NV and also provides coverage into Golden Valley, AZ and Needles, CA.
The TCX-150-A Controller running the machine is a prototype
from FREEMARS Heavy Industries. The machine has been upgraded from the
TCX-100 Revision 2 controller. Before the 100, It was being actuated by
the TCX-50-E repeater controller.
KC7GSA/R2 is owned and operated by the Freedom Net repeater
organization. The Freedom Net is an open repeater system, Available for
everybody's enjoyment.
Here are some control codes for use when you are on Power64.
01/22/2000: We are porud to
announce the new KC7GRZ repeater in Laughlin NV, It has 123.0Hz encode
/ decode, and Transmitts on 446.8750 MHz. It was rebuilt out of a restored
ICOM RP-3010, We scraped the controller that came with the thing from the
factory and tossed a NHRC-4 in its place.
10/22/1999: N7FK/R Has been
upgraded to the new controller, and it now uses a PL tone of 123.0Hz encode
/ decode.
09/10/1999: We have added
a PL Encoder to KC7GSA/R2 To help eliminate intermod problems when in the
Bullhead City metropolis. It encodes on PL frequency 123.0 Hz. The
Receiver for /R2 is still carrier operated and you won't need to transmit
any PL for access.
