Repeater Updates: ’64 EchoLink & 900 MHz P25

The WARA 146.64 MHz repeater now has a connection to EchoLink directly at the repeater site. Roger WA1NVC set up the new equipment, and installed it on December 10 with help from Tom KA1GXR and Eliot W1MJ. The procedure for making EchoLink connections from a radio using DTMF tones has changed – see About / Repeaters.

The 927.1375 MHz repeater now supports P25 digital voice as well as FM. See About / Repeaters.

Roger WA1NVC prepared the equipment for these updates, and installed it over two December site visits with help from Tom KA1GXR and Eliot W1MJ.

Eliot W1MJ snapped this photo of Roger WA1NVC snapping of photo of Tom KA1GXR during one of the December 2024 work parties. The left cabinet houses the 2M and 220 MHz repeaters, the right cabinet houses the 440 MHz and 900 MHz repeaters.
