New Maces Bay 444.875 repeater

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2023/05/24 - 13:38

The repeater at Maces Bay (VE9MBY 444.875 +) is back on the air, a new repeater has been installed. In addition, the repeater is now programmed with CTCSS tone 141.3 Hz on RX and TX. You will need to program your radio to send the CTCSS (PL tone) in order to use this repeater. In addition, you have the option to set your radio to ignore any signals on that frequency except those sending 141.3 Hz. This may resolve issues with distant repeaters or signals causing interference on your radio.
