TMCRC Posted October 19, 2023 Report Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) On Friday, October 27, 2023, The Mesa Crest Repeater will go live. On that date, the repeater will temporarily be set to RX 462.7250 TX 467.7250 T Squelch 141.3 TX & RX. Once we go live, we will announce the repeater and allow anyone wanting to check into the repeater to check coverage. This will give everyone wanting to see the repeaters range and coverage. Once the repeaters Simplex check is done the repeater will be restored back to its original state with its tones. If you wish to join The Mesa Crest Repeater, please submit an Access Request. The repeater belongs to The Mesa Crest Repeater Club and is for use for Club Members Only and you will have to join the Club to use the Clubs Repeater. Area Coverage: (keep in mind obstacles and terrain) Southern California Crestline Mt's, High Desert, Barstow, Palmdale, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Orange County, some Parts of San Diego, LA County, Long Beach, San Pedro and some additional surrounding areas. We will update you with any changes. Thank you. The Mesa Crest Repeater Club Edited October 25, 2023 by WRVL221 Quote
SteveShannon Posted October 19, 2023 Report Posted October 19, 2023 When you have the TX and RX frequencies set the same, is the repeater disabled from repeating? WRUU653 1 Quote

I was wondering the same thing. I could see testing with no tones but I don’t understand how testing would work with the frequencies being the same. Would it wait for squelch to close and repeat on a delay? Is this done so one person can test there TX and RX from a location without a second person? Just curious. Quote
WRXB215 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Posted October 19, 2023 I've heard of "simplex repeaters" that record the message and then repeat it when the squelch closes. Maybe that is what this is? Quote

My assumption is that they’re just using it like a base station, transmitting and receiving in simplex on the 462 frequency. WRUU653 and WRXB215 2 Quote
BoxCar Posted October 20, 2023 Report Posted October 20, 2023 It won't work though. The transmitter will interfere with the receiver as they are both on the same frequency. The site would need to be a store-and-forward configuration to use a single frequency. Simplex, by definition means a single frequency is used for both transmit and receive between two stations alternating transmissions. Quote

It could have a relay that senses the transmitter keyed up and shut down the receiver during that period of time like a semi-duplex configured station. Quote
Guest Posted October 20, 2023 Report Posted October 20, 2023 Sounds like an amazing coverage - most places I play, live, and work !!! I am definitely interested in updates Quote

TMCRC Posted October 20, 2023 Author Report Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Sorry for all the Confusion. We will be setting the repeater on a temporary tone just for anyone wanting to check in and give us a distance check. RX 462.7250 T Squelch 141.3 TX 467.7250 T Squelch 141.3. The repeater will go live sooner than expected. The new day is Friday, October 27th, 2023. Hope to hear you on there. Edited October 25, 2023 by WRVL221 WRUU653 and SteveShannon 1 1 Quote
