Colorado Repeaters

 

                               
Pikes Peak FM Association

The Pikes Peak FM Association operates several repeaters. All PPFMA repeaters are open machines, available for use by all radio amateurs. However, membership in the association is greatly encouraged to support the continued operation and improvement of these repeater systems.

(2) The 145.265 and 448.8 share the same phone line for their autopatches.


Standard offsets

All PPFMA repeaters use standard frequency offsets for the transmitter, relative to the receiver frequency. These are:

  • -600 kHz for 2m repeaters with transmitter outputs below 147 MHz,
  • +600 kHz for 2m repeaters with transmitter outputs above 147 MHz,
  • -5 MHz for UHF repeaters with transmitter outputs above 445 MHz,
  • -12 MHz for 1.2 GHz repeaters with transmitter outputs above 1.282 GHz.

NOTE: Operations will normally be on VHF.  UHF typically will only be used
for special operations, for links, and for relays into buildings.

A District 14 ARES Operations Manual and an El Paso County RACES Operations
Manual will be issued.  The Manuals will describe frequency usage and
procedures.  

As a general rule, "Net" frequencies will be used for callups and resource
nets, and may be used for dispatching and operations.  "Operations" 
frequencies will often be used for dispatching and general operations.
"Tactical" frequencies will typically be used locally between field units
and may or may not have a base station (net controller) monitoring.
