Repeater Has been Repaired

The power amplifier on the repeater failed, and has since been replaced. We also replaced equipment and rodent damage that caused our amplifier to fail. As such, repeater output and range has been restored. We realise the cost associated with providing an open repeater for the Amateur Radio community, but these have been unexpected expenses.

We could still use some help with costs we have incurred. If would can help out, please see the Repeater Support tab at the left. To those of you who have made donations, thank you for your support of the repeater.

Repeater Encodes Tone

We have enabled tone encoding on the N6USO repeater to transmit tone only on a valid signal. So if you enable CTCSS decode on your radio it will remain quiet unless it hears the 136.5 tone that is now encoded on the repeater output.
We have had reports of some having difficulty using this feature. On some radios, Kenwood, for example have the capability to use split-tones. Please ensure that you set both your tone encode and decode to 136.5. With this enabled, you will only hear the audio from the Sunset Ridge Repeater.
We hope this will enhance your enjoyment of the repeater and enable better communications. As always, please send email if you have any questions or concerns.
