Can anyone identify this GMRS repeater?

Thanks for the info Rich. Is the Omega repeater affiliated with Bluecom on 462.600 and their various repeaters?

No were not affiliated, perhaps red com since Im from FDNY EMS. Just kidding. Were still working out the bugs that we have from our site. Taking care the emergency power back up and were done.

Omega system is back on the air. It broke down during the spring last year. Do to the need of communication in Queens and Staten Island due to Sandy. Its back on. Were having a little issue with a turbo repeater hitting the Rx at the site. But with a new notch filter in a couple of days it should correct it.

Rich, what equipment are you running (repeater, controller, antenna, etc)?

 

[n2nov]

Any CERT group in NYC that wishes to access the Omega system should contact me directly at n2nov@nyc-arecs.org for coordination. You need to verify your CERT training and activity. Rich and I are trying to develop this as an EmComm capable system.

Its currently a simple repeater. Gm 300 mobiles the transmiiter is set at 35 watts. Wacom Duplexer, TXRX Bandpass filter, TXRX Pass reject filter, 35 ah AGM battery, 35 amp motorola switcher with, 60' 5/8 hardline, 18' or 22' Stationmaster. Might be a PD455, Scom Controller. and a battery tender.

Its nice and simple, I would like to put the repeater on a proper switchable power supply with a 100 ah deep cycle battery. I think currently the repeater will give us about 3 hrs of talking time in case of power falure.

We do have our original MICOR base repeater and I could push 100 watts, But I only want to transmit enough power to be able to use it in case of emergency. That it can continue working during a black out conditions for a couple days. In a black out 35 watts is better than no watts.

But, I can sure use some help In reaching that goal. I have gone as far as I could with this system.

They operate on 462.600 will a output PL of 151.4. At the begining of every hour, the station automated voice gives a time check. I also heard an automated voice say New york, New jersey, Connecticut.

I dont know if this is a grandfather business, but its barely skimming me in Northern Brooklyn.

If its 462.600 its someone's house repeater


There are 8 repeater frequencies that GMRS use. Its no business!

 

[WQWG712]

462.600 can be anyones repeater!

If the PL tone is 141.3 than its open for everyone
if the PL tone is anything but 141.3 you have to get permission

How can you be sure, living in Texas, how a particular frequency is used in New York?

 

[ecps92]

Don't Assume that the repeater is open for anyone just based on a PL Tone.
Generally the 141.3 applies ONLY to 462.6750 NOT the other pairs

462.600 can be anyones repeater!

If the PL tone is 141.3 than its open for everyone
if the PL tone is anything but 141.3 you have to get permission
