Wow East of Lake Tahoe!
Yep, the repeater is on Mt.Vaca near Highway 80 and 12. It has great range but I never thought someone would hear it East of Lake Tahoe. That is amazing for a GMRS repeater not being linked or anything. It is heard in the Bay Area as far South as San Jose. It doesn't do go on the East Bay side due to the East Bay Hills are blocking the signal. It does good in the I-680 corridor and of coarse the Sacramento Valley from about Modesto to Marysville and the Foothills. We have some other GMRS repeaters that we use for different area's. We're mainly on this one though.
I'm one of the Mobiles and Controllers WQLE614 and I've been a HAM for 10+ years KA6PDY aka Mobile11. I'm glad you guys like what you hear. We aren't "Wanna Be's" running around playing "cops and robbers" it might sound that way but we talk the lingo so it is easier to understand sometimes. I'm originally from San Francisco and San Mateo County and used to Dispatch Mobile Life Support and Mercy Life Care in San Mateo County before Baystar or AMR.I'm still learning the codes here. I so wanna go back to saying 11-80 or 519 for a auto accident or when there is a chase I wanna hear 'Go to The Green"...LOL
So, any input you guys could make is helping us on the air! Thanks 73's and Happy Monitoring!
Oh, we are on Twitter too. TwitterSacMav
