• Output: 145.110 MHz

• Input: 144.510 MHz

• PL Tone: 74.4 Hz (Tx/Rx)

Use:
Open to all licensed amateur operators, this repeater is typically used for general conversation. It is not linked via Echolink, Wires-X, Fusion, or similar services. Owned and maintained by Hanover Fire-EMS, this repeater can be immediately repurposed for emergency management operations during incidents. For example, during the January 2025 regional water crisis, which was caused by long-term deficiencies in the City of Richmond’s water system maintenance, net control operators used it to coordinate resources and distribute information. While no regular nets are scheduled, the repeater remains ready for public service use when needed.

Feed Information:
Audio is sourced from a Harris M7100 public safety radio, connected via custom DB-25 line-level audio cable to a Windows-based radio server running RadioFeed. While no backup power is currently in place, the system will soon utilize a Starlink node for internet connectivity in an effort to have increased resilience during ground-based network outages.
