On repeaters with autopatch capability, emergency communications is immediately available by entering "*911".
These are some other amateur repeaters currently in operation in our local area:
147.51 MHz - D-STAR (WL7CWI)
There is no "tone" used in D-STAR for repeater access. The user must specify the local repeater callsign and port to access the repeater. The port is always the eigth character after the callsign. Port A is for 23 cm,. Port B is for 67 cm, Port C is for 2 m, and Port G is the local gateway to other zones.
Example: to access the 2 m port, "RPT1" is set to WL7CWI C. RPT2 is not currently used as there is no gateway or other ports on the repeater at present.
D-STAR uses GMSK digital modulation and as such cannot share a channel with analog FM. The GMSK detector will not decode FM, and FM radios will only hear digital noise when a D-STAR station transmits. Hence, it's a good idea for digital voice mode and FM modes to avoid using the same channels.
This list is not an attempt to name all south cental repeaters. For a full list visit the links listed below.
