Ham repeater help

[steveh552]

Traveling through KY on I71 to I65, will be coming thru Cinci and taking straight through to TN. I need some active ham radio repeaters (2m or 440) that I could rely on in the event I needed assistance. Thanks in advance.

Here ya go... I'm sure there are others that aren't listed, but this is what is on my HAM radio (links below). Because of my location, I stick to the KY4KY repeater (146.700 , PL of 79.7), The Louisville Simplex (145.675), and the Louisville RACES repeater (147.030 , PL of 151.4).
73's... wx4svr.

Really, the only ones I can say for sure are the Louisville RACES repeater and the KY4KY repeater. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Thanks for your input, no need to be sorry, every bit of info is a bit I did not have.

Great info. Do I, as a mobile operator need to do anything special for the echolink machines?

Make sure you enter the PL for the KY4KY repeater (146.700 , PL of 79.7). It is a far reaching repeater and if you do not enter the PL, you may hit the repeater in Indy, which is on the same freq.

Wow, a lot of PL's for one machine, my radio only lets me put one PL per memory, LMAO.

Anything I had a PL for I put in the radio, anything I knew retransmitted the PL I put in for code sql. so that I do not have to hear intermod or other machines that I may not be close to.

Those different pl's cover different areas...One is for East of Louisville, One is for Downtown, there is a Edwardsville In repeater and a Radcliff repeater as well. Great system ran by knowledgeable people, to which I am not one...lol...

I see, I did not realize it was a system, I thought maybe you were unsure of the code, LOL.

Updated Kentucky Ham Repeater Map

This is about the best place to put the updated Ham Repeater map for Kentucky.... revive an old thread with a newer version of the map... The old map has been deleted from my cache so this is the only one to be found there....
