It is with heavy hearts we announce that one of the largest contributors to T.R.A.S.H. Radio, Ronney Sluga KB0PMY, lost his long battle with cancer Tuesday Sept 9, 2025. He was a major factor in expanding our system over the state of NM and beyond. We will miss his friendship, amazing technical, project management, and BBQ skills. We will certainly miss his smile. Please say a prayer for his family. R.I.P. Ronney!
*** IMPORTANT CHANGE ***
Incoming Allstarlink connections to the T.R.A.S.H. system are now only allowed to connect to node # 55770
This does not change how the system is currently linked
(this change makes it easier for us to manage/control)

New frequency 442.875+ 131.8 PL
Please update your radio(s)/codeplug!
The T.R.A.S.H. linked repeater system is currently funded & sponsored by Neil Addis W7FED (retired Motorola "Galvin Masters" RF Systems dude) in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Mike Olson KB6JYF in El Paso, Texas.

We enjoy experimenting. While primarily focused around an analog radio system, we thrive amidst the digital age. We began the journey with tubes, giving way to solid state, and now the wonders of FPGA & DSP in SDRs. We've long used APCO Project 25 (P25) as our digital flavor of choice, and have P25 augmenting some of our analog coverage. We've integrated AllStarlink RoIP (Radio over Internet Protocol), MotoTrbo, DVSwitch (Brandmeister DMR Bridge), and Kenwood NXDN into our network. This adds greatly to our flexibility. We form a geographically diverse network of cooperating stations and groups furthering the enjoyment of the hobby
While talking is part-in-parcel with radio, any good group needs do-ers. We have many projects planned and look forward to bringing aboard those enthusiastic about radio in its many facets!
- We pride ourselves in building a state-of-the-art Amateur Radio "linked" repeater system with great coverage and audio quality
The Southwest Texas, and Southern New Mexico areas where T.R.A.S.H. began, is a dream come true with its many high mountains affording grand vistas and exceptional radio coverage. With the vision of a handful of friends, their enthusiasm, experimentation, personal investment, and plenty of hard work, an institution was born
T.R.A.S.H. endures with the vigor of its users, coming from many walks of life. We share a common love of amateur radio, experimentation, communication, innovation, technical excellence, camaraderie, lending a helpful hand to our fellow ham and contributing to our community. T.R.A.S.H. supports the activities of other groups (i.e. SKYHUBLINK), often behind the scenes or with little fanfare. Every group has its own unique character, and we encourage this diversity
Many have asked, what does T.R.A.S.H. stand for?, well, now you know!
This Represents A Serious Hobby!
