Remote Receivers

Pacific, Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Thurston & Wahkiakum Counties, Washington

Because of the mountainous terrain in our area, it is not uncommon for a User's signal to have multipath distortion at the repeater receiver. If the distortion is bad enough, the CTCSS (PL) tone can be mutilated and the transmission will 'chop', making it unreadable, even with a relatively strong signal. To solve this problem we have installed several Remote Receivers for the Megler 147.180 repeater. These all listen on the same channel frequency as the repeater receiver, but use different CTCSS (PL) tones. All that is required to select a Remote Receiver is to shift your tone. You still hear the main repeater transmitter, but your own signal is received and repeated clearly and cleanly. Using the Remote Receivers can virtually eliminate dead spots in the Megler Repeater's coverage.

To use the Remote Receivers, set your radio to 147.180 +600 kHz, and your PL tone to:

114.8 Hz. to select the Naselle Receiver (2000 ft), Covers Hwy 101 from Hwy 4 Junction, north to Bay Center, east to Grays River, and the northern portion of the Peninsula.

110.9 Hz. to select the Cape D Receiver (300 ft), Covers Cape D State Park and environs.

82.5 Hz. to select the Megler Repeater Receiver (1300 ft), Covers the Peninsula from Chinook north to Oysterville, and Astoria south to Seaside and east to Knappa.

123.0 Hz. to select the Warrenton Receiver (30 ft), Covers Hwy 101 along the Columbia from Chinook, south to Astoria.
