EAST - K6IS/R "east" is located south of Folsom Lake.
It operates on 145.19- MHz 162.2 PL and 224.40- MHZ 162.2 PL. Transmissions to
either frequency pair are repeated on both. It is a friendly repeater open to any licensed
Ham operator in the coverage area. Autopatch and speed dial are closed (members only)
however emergency and other assistance is available to all. Please ask on the repeater
for a Control Operator.
Coverage for mobile and fixed stations extends up the valley to Southern Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa Counties, and south through San Joaquin County. Hand-held coverage is available in most of Metropolitan Sacramento.
The transmit timer is set at 1 minute, except during commute hours, when it is 30 seconds long. During daylight hours a dual courtesy tone will be heard, during evening hours a single low volume tone will be heard. Please wait for the tone before transmitting. This resets the timer and prevents being cut-off. During NET operations, timers are shut OFF, however the PL remains ON.
New Photo right - The small tower on the right of the building is our 2m
antenna and soon our 220 antenna. The 220 antennas are at the bottom of the
main tower side mounted. Transmit will remain on the tower, only the receive
antenna will be relocated to the small tower. - Carl, WF6J, 10/20/07
IRLP - Node 7457 - Talk to other repeaters with the Internet. We have
IRLP Node Number 7457 for the K6IS East repeaters 145.190 and 224.400. Our IRLP
is open to any licensed Amateur Radio Operator. There is no pre-access. To call
another IRLP node, punch in the 4 digit code on your keypad on your mike or HT.
Wait for the connect message and you are ready to talk. Be sure to wait a few
seconds before talking in order to allow transmitters to key up. If another
repeater node calls in, answer like you would any station. To disconnect,
either incoming or outgoing, use the standard 73 on your keypad. Currently
available incoming or outgoing, 7 AM to 7 PM Pacific, except by Control Operators.
WEST - K6IS/R "west" is located near Zamora, CA. It is on 145.19- 123.0 PL. The squelch tail is set at 1 second. There are no autopatch, speed dial or crossband functions on this machine. Some comments about the east repeater apply, except the west repeater has coverage into Placer County.
