JARC's
Downtown Juneau Repeater
(KL7JRC-R) is located
on Mt. Roberts, seen here from across the channel in Douglas,
Alaska. No need
to worry about your handy talkie from cruise ships as the repeater is a
thousand feet above you!
A repeater users guide is available to all JARC Members. The guide includes instructions for the use of features such as autopatch, autodial, reverse patch, time, and signal strength reports.
