VE7TOK Repeaters operate on the following Frequencies
Note: Don't like hearing interference on your handheld while driving through congested Vancouver? Set your radio on CTCSS-Decode using the frequency 88.5 Hz! Then you will only hear audio when the repeater is actually repeating something, and not when the local paging systems generate intermod in your receiver. The repeater always transmits this CTCSS tone specifically for this reason.
The repeater also passes any CTCSS tone you transmit, so you can arrange with your friends to use another CTCSS tone so you will only hear each other, and not other conversations happening on the repeater.
This is an open repeater currently requiring no CTCSS tone or DTMF access.
The VHF repeater uses the following equipment.
It uses and MXCOM MX818 CTCSS encoder/decoder chip for it CTCSS encoding and decoding requirements.
It uses a Voice Chip with the voice of VE7MBG providing repeater identification and all sorts of diagonostics.
Try out your DTMF pad by pressing the '*' (or star) key followed by other DTMF keys. The repeater will say back to you what digits it thinks you sent it! It will repeat back up to 11 digits in one test (the rest above the 11th digit are ignored - at least I think that's what I programmed into the controller. Try it out and tell me what you find!)
Note: Don't like hearing interference on your handheld while driving through congested Vancouver? Set your radio on CTCSS-Decode using the frequency 156.7 Hz! Then you will only hear audio when the repeater is actually repeating something, and not when the local paging systems generate intermod in your receiver. The repeater always transmits this CTCSS tone specifically for this reason.
The repeater also passes any CTCSS tone you transmit, so you can arrange with your friends to use another CTCSS tone so you will only hear each other, and not other conversations happening on the repeater.
This is an open repeater currently requiring no CTCSS tone or DTMF access.
However, there is an interfering spur on the input frequency that sometimes causes the repeater to constantly chatter.
When this happens, the CTCSS decode feature is enabled on the repeater and the Ham Radio Operator must send the CTCSS sub-audible tone of 156.7 Hz in order to use the repeater.
The UHF repeater uses the following equipment.
A Communications Specialists TP-32 CTCSS encoder/decoder is used to provide the CTCSS encoding/decoding needs for the repeater.
