VE7RPT 224.300 MHz (-1.6 MHz) (PL 156.7Hz*)

This machine has recently (late 2009) been replaced. It used to be a Clegg FM-76 that was homebrewed into a repeater.

The "new" repeater is a GE MASTR-II base station that has been converted from highband VHF to 220MHz by VE7LTD. It has a solid state modular PA brick that is putting about 20W up the pipe out of the duplexer.

VE7RPT-220 is controlled off a port on the RLC-3 controller.

This machine is battery backed.

*The machine is normally configured for carrier access (no tone required). However, it does transmit a PL tone of 156.7Hz on its output. This allows users to set their radios for PL decode to reduce intermod problems (in their radio).
