N4ONC/R 147.210 MHz REPEATER

ON THE AIR

February 2024

Oriental, NC Repeater   Call N4ONC

Repeater output (your RX): 147.210 MHz
Repeater offset (change in frequency to your TX): +600 Hz (set your TX to 147.810 MHz)
Encode PL: 88.5 Hz (sensed by the repeater and allows you access)
Decode PL: 88.5 Hz (sensed by your radio to open your squelch so you can hear the repeater)

 

There’s a New Guy Wire in Town Though receiving some updates

TEMPORARILY OFF LINE

ARAPAHO, NC Repeater4

The Arapaho machine uses CTCSS, or PL tones, on the analog side to determine which mode a user intends. If it hears a transmission using 88.5 PL, it repeats in analog FM mode, services the conversation, stays in the mode for twenty seconds, then drops the mode until reset by a new call. If it hears a digital signal without a PL, it switches to DMR mode, etc.  Analog FM settings of your radios should be as follows for compatibility:

Repeater output (your RX): 147.285 MHz

Repeater offset (change in frequency to your TX): +600 Hz (set your TX to 147.885 MHz)

Encode PL: 88.5 Hz (sensed by the repeater and allows you access)

Decode PL or “Tone Squelch”: 88.5 Hz (sensed by your radio to open your squelch so you can hear the repeater)

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR ANALOG FM RADIO BE SET UP WITH THE DECODE PL.  WITHOUT IT, YOU WILL HEAR DMR USERS’ BUZZSAW-LIKE SIGNALS WHICH CAN BE ANNOYING!

DMR users’ channel setup should follow these settings:

RX: 147.285 MHz

TX: 147.885 MHz

CC: 1

Channel Type: D-digital

DMR mode: repeater (not simplex)

An excellent reference.  They say with justification, “Welcome to the best resource for amateur radio repeater information in the United States and Canada. We have the most up-to-date amateur radio repeater listings (updated by you, our admins, and repeater coordinators). This site is different than others because we use local admins that collect repeater data. No repeater directory can be 100% up-to-date, but we believe this one is more up-to-date and comprehensive than any other you can find. Visitors are invited to update and add listings. You can also rate and comment on the repeaters.”
