2 METER REPEATER The 2 meter repeater transmits on 147.090 MHz and receives on 147.690 MHz, with a receive PL tone of 107.2MHz. The system uses a Kenwood TKR-720 repeater with a Mirage B-2516-R repeater amplifier capable of 100 watts of continuous output power. The amplifier power is set to provide a maximum ERP of 160 watts from a Sinclair SRL-229 colinear antenna, which is mounted at 60 feet above the ground level of 1650 feet. A TX-RX Inc. duplexer feeds the antenna, and two additional TX-RX bandpass cavities are used to filter the received signal. A remote receiver at the club's Nike Base HF station improves the repeater's reception for areas blocked by terrain in the vicinity of Hamburg, NY. Repeater control is maintained with a Link Communications "Club" controller capable of computerized remote control.
