2 Meter Repeater
146.655/146.055 MHz - 110.9 Hz
The 146.655 repeater is located at the club and was originally built by club members and put on the air in 1976. The repeater has been in continuous duty on the air ever since. Over the years, the repeater has had several changes made to it. The original repeater was a commercial tube type receiver and transmitter, with the controller also built by club members. For many years this served the Sandusky area very well. However; technology had changed and the repeater was updated to a completely solid state Spectrum Communications receiver and transmitter in the late 1980's. This unit had an output power of 30 watts and was connected to an S- Com 7K Controller. The repeater has since again been updated to a commercial Tait Series I 25 watt repeater in 2005, which is currently in service. The same S-Com 7K Controller and Phelps Dodge duplexer from 1976 are being used. A commercial 4 bay Sinclair antenna mounted at approximately 75 ft fed with 7/8 hardline is connected to the repeater. The repeater is also equipped for emergency communication with a battery backup.
440 Repeater
444.3750/449.3750.055 MHz - 110.9 Hz
The 444.375 repeater was first placed into operation in 1990 at the club and later moved to a water tower at the intersection of Columbus Ave and Strub Rd during the same year. The repeater was originally an old Motorola commercial Mocom 70 40 watt repeater and duplexer that was converted to amateur use and was connected to an S-Com 5K Controller. It was converted to a 75 watt Motorola Micor Compu Station in the early 2000's and is now currently located at the Erie County EMA Office on Columbus ave next to the fairgrounds.
