Try the Hi band Repeater in Asheville, NC if your close eneough. When I lived there, it was used on and off, as was the UHF one, but most comms were on the Lo Band stuff. FYI: In the next few years as the buildout of the NC State 800 TRS is brought fully online and the Asheville repeater site goes active, you should find that NCSHP will be easier to monitor as they will have tg's on it. Here is the VHF Hi Band from my old files:
154.6800 MHz

Ashtroth - The "repeater" you're asking about is not really a repeater. It's a mobile link channel.

A remote receiver on Mount Mitchell monitors the car side of the NCHP low band channel (channel 1?), and retransmits it through a directional antenna aimed at the Asheville tower.

NCHP uses remote transmitters and receivers throughout the state to provide radio coverage in area unreachable from the troop headquarters towers.

A couple of the key differences between a link and a repeater are:
- the link freq is usually in a different band than the actual freq in use
- a link may or may not include a path "to" the remote from the dispatch
- links sometimes carry more than one voice channel, or both voice and data on the path.

Based on the license for 457.350 MHz (the tone was 103.5 Hz), there should also be a link from Asheville to a remote transmitter on Mount Mitchell, but I'm not sure what the frequency is (maybe 956.0 MHz).

Since the remote link from Mount Mitchell is directional and licensed for 80 watts ERP (or less), subtle changes at the remote or along the path can affect your reception ... such as new homes / buildings in your neighborhood blocking the signal, a lowering of the power at the remote because of interference issues, etc.

If you are using an external antenna, not hearing the remote link could also be an indication that it's time for antenna maintenance or coax replacement.

There were two sites located near each other. One was on Mt Mitchell at the observation tower and used a UHF link back to Mt Meadows, then down to the comm center by landline, and the other was on Clingman Peak where the state TV xmtr is located and is on the microwave system. The one at the obs tower with the UHF link has been out of service for some time. 154.680 is part of the statewide high band repeater system that sees little use anymore. The 800 trunked mobile data terminals and the low band radios and the 800 trunking voice (where available) are where the bulk of the comms are carried on now.

Summerfield linked site (NW Greensboro) :

Troop D HQ E. Market Street Comm Center control link:
1 semi-duplex Motorola Micor base station w/PL
Comm RX 75.620 TX 72.940 30 watts

Summerfield control link:
2 base repeaters
Rptr 1 GE MASTR Pro w/PL
RX 72.940 TX 42.380 (CH 14) 250 watts
Rptr 2 Motorola Micor Compa-Station repeater w/PL
RX 42.580 (CH 13) TX 75.620 30 watts

All other GSO sites and Salisbury Comm Center's Sauratown sites are microwave linked.

In regards to the UHF links, here are a couple of others:

456.300 Boone Repeats 42.66 back to Newton

457.325 Oxford Repeats 42.66 back to Raleigh

Does anyone have any others in the state?

72.50 on Anderson Mtn repeats 42.80 for Gaston & Cleveland Co's back to Monroe - also simulcast 42.52 on tg 2384 on CMPD system

 

[jeffmulter]

The PL tone on 72.50 MHz is 131.8 Hz.

At one time, 72.50 was paired with 75.46 / 131.8. The latter frequency was the link from Salisbury comm center - and later, Monroe - to the remote on Anderson Mountain.
