Linked repeaters and mutiple receivers

[2M Guy]

There's a linked repeater in St. Joseph/Benton Harbor MI. Stations come in from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Traverse City. How does that work? Hard lines, RF, something else?

The CFMC repeater in Chicago has multiple receive sites. Heard some conversation/speculation on how that works. Do the RX sites send signals by UHF or phone lines? Or some other way?

Both are great, hit me full scale.

There's a few different ways to accomplish it...you hit on two. Here's an article that explains some of the ways in a little detail

Thanks for the good link. I have to say, the 14$ I spent to get my ticket was very well spent. Lots of people are doing things to make this hobby have alot of depth.

Yeah...the options of what you can keep playing with seem endless, and you still don't have to give up CB if you don't want to. Unless you hang out on QRZ, that is :roll:

LMAO, you saw me there.

I would love to setup a UHF Repeater Network.

You're probably using the W8HVG repeater system. www.w8hvg.org has a good description of the equipment involved in the linked system.

I used to be able to get on via the Mt. Pleasant system, but it's been quite a while since I've been able to access through there...

We have a fairly large Linked Network on 70CM here in Southern Ohio 14 sites. With 2 meter remote bases, 6 meters and 220 repeaters as well cover 30+ counties

Northstar, what are the frequencies for the repeater?

Geekster,

I will get a MSword file together and e-mail it to you soon.
