KØSEK has a new repeater on the air in Crawford County! With the help from some donated equipment from Crawford County and hard work from Bill, Tyler and Matt we have a new all FM repeater on the air. It is located at the county tower, Southwest of Girard and is up about 300 feet. The frequency is 147.24 with a PL Tone of 91.5. No need for tone squelch on this one! If your radio has a NARROW FM setting you might set it up that way since the repeater can only be set to narrow mode but either way it should not be an issue.
We have received test reports from Galena, Parsons, Carl Junction and
coverage is very good. It can be reached in Pittsburg on an HT but is
scratchy as expected but still able to copy. This repeater will be the
primary ARES repeater but we would love to have it used freely. The
connection with the new ARES group has helped us in obtaining the
donated equipment from the county which was in the 150 mhz range. We
needed a higher VHF frequency for gear that was pretty much ready to get
on the air! We had to do some duplexer tuning but in short order we had
it ready.
We have a lot of options going forward for area repeaters so stay tuned and get involved as we grow and change. Here is a link to the clubs local repeater listing and map image of the location...
