Grog:
You are absolutley right. My bad. I read it wrong. It is the autopatch that is closed. Thanks.

Autopatch is not working right now, and the is on CSQ at the moment and set to switch to 94.8 down the road.

So far with the new repeater we are working a good chunk of Buncombe, all of Haywood, and most of Jackson and Macon as well as a good bit of east TN

Does anyone think that maybe sometime down the road the FCC would ever open up any of the 800mhz for Amateur use? Wouldn't it be cool if hams had an 800mhz system, you could have traffic training on one TG, nets on another, ragchews on yet another talkgroup, and so on. I think the only thing negative would be the ridiculous cost of the equipment.In addition, now that most everything is going to Viper & 800mhz what will become of VHF low, VHF high, and the UHF ranges? Other than Amateur stuff in a few more years these bands will be virtual ghost bands...uninhabited........

[Grog]

No they won't, not everyone will go to 800, hams have no reason for 800, we already have 900 as well as tons of other spectrum. How many local police operate at 223? Well we can


As far as trunking, there was a discussion on this as well as other forums. I think LTR could be used, but a regular moto system would be a no-no because of the control channel.

Anyway, off topic for this thread

[reconrider8]

i have a question about the ham radios how far away can you be to pick it up?

[kc4jgc]

Loaded question but off topic for this thread.

N4UH Repeater, China Grove, 145.410 - 136.5PL
W0UNC Repeater, UNCC Charlotte, 442.65 (No idea on offset, - I spose), 88.5PL
Unknown callsign, Location: Dallas(Commonly listed as Charlotte, wide coverage like N4UH), 145.350, -, no PL
Part of the W4BFB System: 146.940 - 118.8PL
K4CEB Repeater, Concord NC, 146.655 - no PL
W4EXU repeater, Barber Junction, Salisbury/Cleveland NC, 146.730, 94.8
W4NC Sauratown Mountain, 145.470, -, 100PL
W4SNA Repeater, Barber Junction, Salisbury/Cleveland NC 53.95 - (52.95), 100.0 PL
All the ones off the top of my head. Good site is North Carolina Repeaters Stuff is 95% up to date and accurate. Some have different PL's or what not, and some repeaters don't exist anymore, but at least for 2m, all I can think of is 1 with a different PL(W4BFB 146.94), and two that don't exist(KG4WAD and N4JEX Kannapolis repeater).

I havnt heard anybody on the 440 range in NC since 1995 or so.

Actually heard traffic on 224 for the first time ever recently.

You must not spend alot of time in the Triangle as 440 is very much
alive and well in Central NC.

Plus there is a huge linked 440 system in Charlotte that covers from Haywood county to east of Greensboro/Winston-Salam and extends north into Virginia. There is a statewide inked 440 system in SC also. You apparently don't listen much then.
