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.
The Waltham ARA Repeater Site in Prospect Hill Park
Great picture of the repeater site – from Mt. Wachusett!
While at Boxboro a fellow HAM W1AWX introduced himself and showed me this great pic of WARA’s site taken from almost 40 miles away! Thanks Arthur! -Ron / KG1T
