Does anyone have a list of 8 Tac and 7 Tac repeaters and locations? I understand there are many around the state, but to my knowledge there is no database of locations and channels. Would like to see what people have posted in one place.

Look at the nationwide frequencies at the bottom of the page, under national interoperability for 8TACs and 7TACs

I think he is trying to find out if there is a state reference as to who has 8call/8tac repeaters in their county. Some areas do not have them even though being on trunking.

What n3obl said, nifog gives no indications where repeaters are located. For instance, there is a 7 tac 72 repeater on grandmother mtn.

At one time most of the Viper Sites had them but they are not linked, and they are basically not used, not recorded, and lots of them don't respond if you try to key them up. I went around with a Motorola Viper radio that was programmed with all the 7tac and 8 tac frequencies (I was a federal government emergency manager) and I ran across a few but randomly. Try putting them in a bank on your scanner and see what you get. I have never heard them actually used myself in the Durham area, Greenville, or Northeastern parts of state. I think Durham had one, Greenville did, and Ahoskie.

Right now in the western part of the state you will hear a lot of activity. On 8tac92 in Ashville it is almost constant activity. Yesterday there were sar teams doing missions on the French broad. I don't know exactly where that repeater is located.

Is there a way to print that out? Just Page 34, that is.

A lot of times the teams will set up portable repeater sites where they are operating at. As what someone else mentioned many 911 centers will have the repeaters disabled until they need it. The dispatch center up where I use to live in NY was similar, only activated during certain times such as disasters, blizzards, hurricanes and mainly for testing at different points of the year. We had a Countywide 16 channel UHF fire plan and within the plan they had UCall and UTac channels.
