REPEATERS
The Club operates two FM repeaters under the call
K7LED. These are located at:
- 146.82/146.22 MHz. - the two meter
band
- 224.12/222.52 MHz. - the 220 MHz
band
The two meter repeater requires a tone squelch signal
(PL) of 103.5 for access. The Club does not
operate a 440MHz repeater. These repeaters are
open to all amateur radio operators and no donations
are accepted towards their operation. In
addition, the Club prefers that prospective members
do not join if their only intention is to "just
support the repeater".
