  • New Repeater in Lucerne Valley

    Of interest to MJR Hams:

    Yesterday, we finished the installation of a 2 meter repeater at 7,900 ft above Lucerne Valley.

    Frequency: 145.180 MHz (minus 600 for the offset)
    PL tone: 123.0 Hz

    It is solar powered charging two 12v deep cycle batteries.

    We suspect this will be a wide area repeater. Covering from Ridgecrest to the north and most of the Mojave desert. One of the guys talked to a buddy in San Pedro on a hill there. Please help us determine the coverage area. There will most likely be one of the local hams listening. I'm also trying to listen as much as I can also.

    This has been coordinated by TASMA. That's the organization that coordinates the repeater frequencies in Southern California. There's a repeater in Pasadena on the same frequency but a different PL tone. So far we have not bothered them.

    Congratulations Roger - great job! This is going to be very useful in the area. I will program it into my 8800 and give it a try. I will be heading up the 14 and 395 for memorial day and can check the range toward Mojave, CA, etc.
