But as I mentioned earlier, it's not a repeater! It's a half duplex base station operating on a repeater pair.. It does not repeat locally and, if it's transmitter is keyed up, the receiver is not hearing anybody and does not allow you to talk back down the link until the transmitter has dropped off the air. I was told by the coordinator it's supposed to be at 40 ft in Nederland... It originally showed up on 147.36 but was intermoding the 146.76 in downtown Beaumont so It was changed to 146.72. It originally was on 147.58 simplex...Chris WB5ITT Sent via my Samsung Galaxy S10e, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone..so there! 😂 -------- Original message --------From: "Suggs, Marvin (KTRK-TV) via BVARC" <bvarc@bvarc.org> Date: 1/21/24 6:24 PM (GMT-06:00) To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: "Suggs, Marvin (KTRK-TV)" <marvin.su...@abc.com> Subject: Re: [BVARC] Fw: Cross Roads Repeater System Maybe the Port Arthur 440 machine is now 146.72?

Well there is a repeater on 146.72 in Port Arthur that is part of the Cross Roads Repeater System. its not listed on the map but it is on their web page at https://crhrc.org/repeaters/. 73 John Denison KD5YOU On 1/21/2024 3:21 PM, wb5itt via BVARC wrote: I wish they'd fix the 440 repeater in Port Arthur... It's got more transmit range than receive range. There's also a 146.72 half duplex base station operating on a repeater split in Nederland supposedly, that's linked in but not on their map. It's causing a lot of concern to users in the Beaumont Port Arthur area that try to listen to Lake Charles 10 kilohertz off on 146.73. It's not a true repeater because it doesn't repeat the local users transmitting on 146.12. All their linking is done via All-Star..
