Repeater Updates

The repeater system will receive some required updates this week.

The UHF repeater on 444.225 MHz in Richmond Hill, VE3YRC, will have PL tone added so as to mitigate interference issues. PL Tone will be 103.5 Hz in line with other GTA area repeater standards.

Repeater Information

COVID-19 Nets

York Region Amateur Radio Club defined a set of frequencies primarily for use by Public Service and Emcomm.

The list tried to define a mix of repeaters and simplex frequencies which were called channels (or memories) and people could just say let's meet on Channel 3 or memory 3, rather than having to say 145.350MHz, 103.5Hz, -600KHz shift.

Below is the list in PDF format (3 files) and .xls format with 3 tabs.

Please note: A team has been formed to review these lists based on repeaters being removed from service and new repeaters with digital technology being put in place.
