Welcome to the BSARC repeater information page.
| Our VHF repeater can be heard at
147.015 MHz. Input is at 147.615 MHz. to comply with the normal 600 KHz. split in the VHF band plan. Additionally, we use a 151.4 Hz. PL tone to lessen interference and intermittent kerchunking. |
Our UHF repeater can be heard at 444.950 MHz. Input is at 449.950 MHz. to comply with the normal 5 MHz. split in the UHF band plan. Additionally, we use a 107.2 Hz. PL tone to lessen interference and intermittent kerchunking. |
Our Club repeaters are "open" --, i.e., they are usable by all licensed
hams that care to take advantage of their locations in eastern Jackson County,
Missouri. The antennas are located on high structures that gives wide area
coverage for our members and all that pass by. The basic UHF repeater transmitter
and receiver are commercial GE equipment with high quality, tuned duplexers and heliax to the antennas.
The VHF repeater is a Quantar T5365A with tuned duplexers and hard line to a
multi-bay antenna.
One advantage for our members, besides the camaraderie, is that we have links
from the main UHF repeater to a 2-meter radio that currently provides
communications to nearly two dozen channels which include many remote repeaters in western
Missouri and eastern Kansas. Additionally, we can connect to multiple UHF channels
that include many remote repeaters in the same coverage area as the 2-meter
links. Each remote band is expandable as the members desire.
