benjammin09 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Hey all. I am in the process of adding repeaters in the valley area. So far we have one up in Palmer. It's not got the coverage I was expecting yet, but when the weather improves we will be fixing it up some. It's on Ch 29, 467.7000 and tone is 141.3. I will be putting up two more repeaters, one in mid valley and one on the west end, later this year as the weather and access conditions improve. Please be respectful of its use as there is already one user group (Golden Eagle) in Palmer that is accessing that repeater. If you plan to access it, just drop me a request and I am good with it. Much appreciated. I am a commercially licensed radio tech and had my own business a long time ago. Now I have a very different career so this is just a thing. I am not a Ham and have no need to get that license, just a guy with a lot of knowledge and experience who didn't want it to go to waste anymore. As I get geared back up, I will get more into this stuff. The repeaters are refurbed Motorola GR 1225s. WRTT642 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We much appreciate it. I drove down to Palmer the other day and tried to access it, but i couldn't get through to it. Maybe I will give it a try tomorrow. If you would like I would love meeting up with you and talking more about this subject or maybe a phone call. I am still learning all about this and I would love to talk to someone who is further down the road than I am. If you need any help with anything give me a holler and Ill see what I can do to help out. There are others here that are trying to get things running out here in the Valley as well as Anchorage. If we all work together we can really get a good net going that can cover South Central. There are also some up in Fairbanks as well as the slope which I found interesting. Anyway, keep us updated and let us know what we can do to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRTT642 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I'm game. It will have to be in a couple weeks though. I have a A LOT of stuff going on right now, but maybe sometime mid February? That should be enough time for everybody to think about it and get it planned. What do you think? dogfarts2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
