PhiladelphiaAreaRepeaterAssociationW3PHL/R146.760 MHz Repeater SystemInformation CenterThe "Flagship" of the PARA System is the wide area coverage 146.760 MHz W3PHL Repeater. � The main transmitter, located high atop Mount Misery on Valley Forge Mountain, runs 300 watts ERP from 600 feet above mean sea level. � The antenna is a Cellwave Super Stationmaster mounted at the top of our 66 foot military communication tower. There are numerous remote 146.160 MHz receive sites located around the Philadelphia Metropolitan area. � These remote receivers are linked to the central voting selector, located in Worcester Township, Montgomery County, PA, via UHF links. � The voter has capability for twelve seperate receiver channels. � The best received signal is then voted and fed to the Link Communications Repeater Controller. The output of the Link Controller is fed to a "Transmitter Selector" which directs it to one of three possible transmitters; either the remote transmitter at Valley Forge, the local transmitter at Worcester or the remote transmitter at Eagleville. � The remote transmitters are linked to the Worcester site via additional UHF links. � The Transmitter Selector is controlled, via the Link Controller, by PARA Control Operators. The local Worcester transmitter and the remote Eagleville transmitter are back-ups for the main Valley Forge transmitter. What follows below is a System Map and links to the various parts of the � W3PHL/R � 146.760 MHz � Repeater System.
