440 MHz D-STAR Repeater
The 440 D-Star repeater is on the air. Listen in on 441.90625 MHz Reflector 1C
2M Repeater
The 146.76/146.16 MHz system (107.2 PL-1B) transmits from atop the Aon Center building in downtown Chicago at a height of 1200 ft. giving it over 10,000 square miles of coverage from just south of Milwaukee on the north, to DeKalb on the west , and Kankakee on the south. The system has a number of receive sites in Waukegan, Barrington, Park Ridge, Downers Grove, Lake Calumet , Worth, Joliet, and a local receiver atop the Aon Building. Autopatch and voice-mail are among the many features offered to the members.
440 Repeater / Apco P-25
The 443.75 MHz (+5 MHz 114.8 PL-2A) system is also atop the Aon Center building at 1200 ft. Single stand alone system, no recieve sites. See operating rules below.
1) ANALOG MODE IS TOP PRIORITY AT ALL TIMES. NOTICE TO MOTOROLA ASTRO USERS.. PLEASE MONITOR YOUR RADIO IN " MIXED MODE " TO ASSURE NOBODY IS USING ANALOG BEFORE MAKING YOUR CALL.
2) IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT USERS WITH REGULAR, NON-DIGITAL MOTOROLA RADIOS TO SET THERE RADIOS TO MONITOR IN PL 114.8 ( ENCODE AND DECODE). THE REASON FOR THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THE LOUD ANNOYING BUZZING SOUND THAT YOU HEAR IN ANALOG WHILE SOMEONE IS USING DIGITAL IS MUTED ON YOUR END. DIGITAL P-25 DOES NOT USE A PL, ITS CARRIER SQUELCH.
3) ANALOG USERS WHILE BEING IN ENCODE AND DECODE, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU OBSERVE YOUR S-METER OR BUSY INDICATOR ON YOUR RADIO TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO APCO P-25 TRAFFIC BEFORE MAKING YOUR CALL. THIS WILL MAKE THE USE OF THIS DUAL MODE SYSTEM MUCH SMOOTHER.
4) SINCE THERE IS NO COURTESY "BEEP / Tone" , MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY DROPS IN BETWEEN TRANSMISSIONS.
