This repeater's output power is a mere 15 watts into a 6 dB gain exposed dipole (4 bay double dipole array). This relates to an E.R.P. of 60 watts.
This repeater's output power is 250 watts, subtracting feedline and duplexer losses, we get over 175 watts into the 6.1 db gain stick. Our E.R.P. here is 750 Watts ! This repeater has five receiver sites (1 Main and 4 Remote) and an advanced microprocessor controlled voter for enhanced receive coverage for mobiles and portables. All you have to do to use the satellite receive sites is to encode a PL of 123 Hz. Advanced description.

Be Attentive to the amount of time you use the system during a given day, there by allowing more amateurs opportunity to use our system. Be courteous to your fellow operators while using our system. Long winded QSO'S discourage other users from using the system. Due to the nature and wide coverage of the system, when one repeater is in use for a extended period this is also tying up many repeaters. Many of this type of ragchews could just as easily be carried out on simplex or other repeaters that are not part of a wide coverage link system, like 145.27. Also be aware that what you say on the system can be heard over many thousand square miles. Technically our system is excellent, Many people have put a lot of time, effort, and money in the system to make it work. However how we use the system can make or break the effectiveness of the system.
