| Post subject: | Active 2 meter repeaters? |
A long time friend has been confined to his house because of medical reasons. I was hoping to program an Astro Saber that I have laying around, with active 2 meter repeater frequencies....... I think he'd really enjoy it. His QTH is on the Sammamish Plateau. It's been a while since I've monkeyed around on 2 meters. Can anyone recommend some good, active 2 meter repeaters that I should program in? In the mean time, I'm just scanning the 2 meter band and seeing what I come up with, as well as utilizing the Intercept DB. Thanks guys. -Marcus |

146.980 is up on Rattlesnake now. Not sure how that affects the coverage into that area. 146.88 Green Mt. Kitsap Co. |

146.82 tone 103.5 Mike and Key Club's 2 meter repeater. 146.62 tone 103.5 Gold Mountain/WWRA repeater. It's on Gold Mountain near Bremerton but it has nice coverage. 146.96 tone 103.5 PSRG I'm not quite sure where the repeater is located right now- somewhere in NW Seattle. Good user's net at 7:00 P.M. local on Mondays. 145.33 tone 179.9 BEARS repeater. It's not "Ham CB" but isn't as active as it has been. If you don't like constant chatter, that could be a good thing. If that is what you are looking for, that could be a downside. 145.33 is a repeater on the Evergreen Intertie, a user supported system of repeaters which covers Spokane, E. Washington, Seattle, Portland and places down South. Here's a link to that system and nets held on the Intertie: http://www.snovalleyarc.org/pdf/Evergre ... %205-3.pdf If your friend would like to participate in the Intertie, a DTMF mike/pad is necessary to access the controls. These should be usable by an HT from the Sammamish area but, of course, 25+ watts and a fixed antenna will be better. |

You could also program in PSE (for when power lines goes out.) Don't forget Marine and Railroad and USFS channels. It's just endless! Stop it already! |
