The Manahawkin Repeater is a GE commercial grade repeater.

Here is a view of it inside our new shed which was built by volunteer 835 members a few years ago.

The "Manahawkin Repeater" is the primary 2 meter communications repeater in Southern Ocean County. It is affiliated with RACES and ARES. It has been operated by "The 835 User Group" since it's beginnings back in 1975. The 835 User Group works in a cooperative agreement with State and County Emergency Management.

The "User Group" is comprised of 8 board members who manage the operation of the repeater.
Bob Schenck N2OO Trustee
Tom Kutylowski N2CZ equipment
Don Fillman WB2MWD equipment
John Bodine K2UBG
Steve McGarry W2USF
Bill Clanton N2EID
Bob Wick N2HM
Jim McConnell N2ZAH

The User Group is also comprised of "supporting members" who contribute to the operation and maintenance of the repeater. Suggested "contributions/dues" are $25.00 per year and includes ALL licensed "hams" living in your household.
These "contributions/dues" are collected on an "as needed" basis, and in "one time" collections. We do not make collections more often than once a year. Often times in the past, we ran as long as 2 years or more before needing to make a new collection. But, we only guarantee one year minimum. People who join during an already running dues period will be prorated upon renewal in the next dues period. "Supporting members" are not voting members. The "organization" of this group is made this way simply to "pay the bills" and operate the Manahawkin Repeater in the simplest way possible.

Effective April 2005, the autopatch has been shut down. It has not been used (perhaps due to the highly popular cell phones now in use).
