Repeaters

• Question:  I only use analog FM and have no interest in using digital modes; am I being left out?
• Answer:  No, our 147.345 repeater is analog (CTCSS tone 123.0 Hz)

  and our 443.450 repeater is analog as well (CSQ No Tone)

Our 145.450 repeater is primarily Wires-X, but is running AMS mode for analog too

• Question:  I know I am in range of the 147.345 repeater.  I transmit, but no one hears me.
• Answer:  You must be within range using a station with adequate power with a good antenna.  If still having issues, please ensure you have a CTCSS (PL) tone of 123.0 set on both transmit and receive in your radio.  Please note using a handheld to access any repeater is less than ideal in most circumstances

• Question:  What is Wires-X and why do we have it on our 145.450 repeater?
• Answer:  Wires-X is a technology allowing C4FM users to connect to repeaters locally, regionally or worldwide using VOIP over the internet.  We are adding this technology to appeal to a wider audience.  We anticipate this will increase both traffic on the repeater and membership in the club
