This repeater system has 5 remote receive sites in the County and 2 additional remotes outside the county. One in Orange County and the other in Bergan County. The  voting system continuously evaluates and determines which receive site has the best signal and selects that site's receiver audio to be repeated from the main transmitter located in Valhalla.. A home brew "Voter Tallier" creates the tones listed below. These tones are generated based on the site that is voted for the longest during that transmission.
