Equipment consists of a Motorola Maxar VHF transceiver, a Kantronics KPC-3 TNC with version 8.2 firmware, a DCI bandpass filter (which does a tremendous job of eliminating receiver overload from the co-located 17 kW FM broadcast facility) and a Hustler G6-144B antenna mounted at 105' AGL. Effective radiated power is approximately 80 watts.
KC2FFP-2 has alias IDs of WIDE, RELAY, and TRACE and also supports the WIDEn-n and TRACEn-n "UI FLOOD" protocol.

Here's a view of the KC2FFP-2 antenna
(the whip on the lower right side of the tower), which is oriented to provide
maximum coverage to the north.
The four bays above it are the driven elements of an ERI half-lambda-spaced directional transmit antenna for WCII-FM -- and the parasitic reflectors on the left side of the tower suppress undesired radiation toward WRKC in Wilkes-Barre, PA on the same frequency, 88.5 MHz. Just below the KC2FFP-2 antenna is a Scala "Paraflector" 950 MHz STL antenna, which receives programming from WCII's studio in Kanona, NY, via the WCIH-FM site near Elmira, NY. At the top of the tower, Jeff DePolo, WN3A, installs the main antenna for the N3KZ Owego linked repeater on 444.8 MHz.
