A simple repeater usually stores what it hears and then replays it.
Radio Shack used to sell one.

i think that is a amateur simplex not a 100% but that freq is in the amateur band plan
Crossbanding what? Yes, 146.520 is the 2M calling frequency and if there really is a repeater of some kind on it, that's really inconsiderate. There are other 2M frequencies that could have been chosen.
I have heard Echostink on a 2M simplex frequency before but never on the calling channel.
And yes a simplex repeater records what it hears then transmits it back on the same frequency.

I live in London, Ontario. London is located midway between Detroit and Toronto about 25km north of the Lake Erie shoreline.
I am employed as a Senior Systems Technician for a Motorola MSS and full-line dealer located here in London. There is a dynamic synergy between my professional life and my hobby, each making me better in my involvement with the other.
My wife, Elaine VE3ZMN, and I have been married for over 31 years. We have two delightful sons; eighteen year old James, VA3NMZ, and fifteen year old Jonathan, VE3WAK.
I greatly enjoy operating on 146.520 MHz. I have met many wonderful amateurs who are passing through the area this way. I maintain a remote base that links '52' with 445.750 MHz. If you are in the area and want to enjoy '52' from an elevation of 100 meters, please feel free to key up on the UHF side with a CTCSS tone of 151.4 Hz. Any replies on '52' will be transmitted back to you on UHF.
I have recently expanded my remote link system. In addition to the original link, I now have a '52' transceiver located about halfway between Dresden and Petrolia 30 Km east of the St. Clair river. This station operates using an antenna elevation of 240 meters and is linked back to London where it is re-transmitted on 147.510 MHz. Like my first link, this second system is also fully bi-directional. If you are in the London area and would like to give it a try, just encode a CTCSS tone of 203.5 Hz. and remember it takes a moment for the link to come up completely. Enjoy the great coverage from this strategic vantage point!

I might add the Oil Springs tower crossbands on 445.850, if you monitor this frequency you'll heard 146.52 activity from a great distance

Setting up a repeater for 146.52MHz isn't very respectful, in my opinion. It's the national *simplex* calling frequency. Can't we keep it simplex? There are plenty of repeated frequencies if that's what you're looking for. There's something to be said for a dedicated simplex frequency.
Wow 787 feet ! WOW !
I imagine sone really fat feenline
I like the fact that someone can listen in as if they had a tower in their backyard
But people actually have used this to transmit. . .and ragchew!
Anyway thanks for the information

Hopefully you're joking. I assume that's what "jks" means.then should not use amatuer radio to contact a friend use a landlinejks
I personally find it an unnecessary waste of spectrum. Instead of conducting a QSO on one frequency you're now tying up three frequencies?
