Do we have any P25 VHF Repeaters in the area of Western Washington?

There is a 2 meter P25 repeater on Cougar Mtn. Its on 146.475 out/147.475 in, NAC is $293. Its on a temporary antenna very low on tower so coverage is modest at best. Try with a mobile or portable on outside antenna.

Awesome, I'll program it into my XTS5K. Is it only P25 or is there analog also?

NAC =

Is it 293 or $293 with the dollar sign? It wont let me program with a $

Thx

Does anyone use the repeater much haven't heard any traffic on it. I've tried keying up the repeater and not heard anything from it.

Try with a mobile or portable on outside antenna. Better antenna will be installed in a few weeks at about 60' above ground. Give it a try! K7SLB

Got this one plugged into my mobile now as well. Put my call through a few times today from the Silverdale area but had no response so I don't know if Im making it good enough or not. Let me know if you need any help with this Spencer. Im happy to help the amateur community when I can.

I just put a call out now. I'll be monitoring for a few hours if anyone wants to give it a test.

Unfortunately, even though you can do analog in 12.5 khz, the sub band that its in is for digital modes only. Hence not allowed to run it in mixed mode by WWARA like the area 440 repeaters that are mixed mode. If a 'wideband' 2 meter slot ever opens up, drop me a line and we can put up a mixed mode machine.

Or you could just run it in mixed mode and not advertise it as a feature :)

Try with a mobile or portable on outside antenna. It's working pretty good for me on the XTS5K. I can do portable from outside but it's best on the external antenna. I know it's working 'cuz I can hear the P25 on the Rx side. It helps that I'm in SE Bellevue too.
