This repeater is equiped for P25
If this repeater is receiving any analog
signal, either from the control base or from another
station, it denies access to a P25 signal from a P25
user. If the repeater is in P25 mode, triggered by a
P25 station, it does not key up the 146.97 MHz or
224.82 MHz repeaters. Once the P25 session ends,
usually based on a timer, the machine reverts to
analog or can be re-triggered into P25 mode after
the timer expires.
The Club is a Life Member Club supporting
AMSAT, the non-profit
Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation.
We have been named an ARRL-affiliated
Special Service Club
Also receipent of ARRL's Maxim Award,
and belong to the Illinois Repeater Association.
