NOTICE - 448.150 is OFF THE AIR!

March 2008

I've taken this repeater off the air as it developed an issue in the receiver and transmitter.  I will try to get the issues resolved and put the system back on the air as quickly as possible.

448.150 is a private but open repeater with a PL tone of 100.0 hertz.  The site is located north of the Buford exit on I-80, west of Cheyenne and consists of an:

• Motorola Micor 110-watt UHF commercial repeater.
• Computer Automation Technologies  CAT-300DX repeater controller.
• Hy-Gain G-6 Dual band vertical antenna, mounted at 40 feet above ground level.
• GE 6-cavity Bp mobile duplexer.
• 60-foot run of Belden 9913 coax.
• This repeater is coordinated as a "wide-coverage" system, extending into both Colorado and Nebraska.

Future enhancements

• Replace CAT-300DX controller with an S-COM 7330 controller .
• Replace 9913 coax with 1/2 inch Heliax Hardline.
• Replace the GE mobile duplexer with a Wacom 6-cavity Bp-Br duplexer.
• (Jan 2008) 6-cavity Duplexer obtained.  Will be installed in the spring of 2008.
• Establish this UHF system as a center "hub" for linking purposes.
• Link 448.150 to 145.235.
• Link 448.150 to 147.000 in Banner County, Harrisburg, Nebraska.
