2M P25 Repeaters along Empire Builder route

[timkilbride]

I'm coming into Seattle via the Empire Builder and leaving towards LA on the Empire Builder as well. I was wondering if there were any 2M P25 repeaters along/close to the route or any in the greater Seattle area. We are staying in downtown Bellevue when we are in town. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Sorry Tim there are not any VHF P25 repeaters in the Seattle area. There are a couple of 70cm repeaters however.

Not sure if the train goes near Spokane but last I heard there was one in the Spokane area.

Disregard, it looks like the 2m repeater is gone.

Do you have a P25 portable? If so shoot me a PM and we can set up a P25 VHF QSO. I have a XTS5000R.

There are no P25 ham repeaters in the northwest. There may be one or two D-STAR (the ham equivelent of P25) in Seattle, but that would be all.

Huh? Did you see my post? There are a few P25 repeaters -- just not on 2m.

In that case, I guess I have to stop talking on them.
