Club Repeaters


 Our open high level two meter machine is located on Twin Peaks in the geographic center of San Francisco. W6PW/R operates on 145.150 mhz with a -600 khz offset and a PL 114.8hz. The same frequency PL tone is also generated and  transmitted by the repeater for users of the machine who have tone decoding capability. This will eliminate co-channel chatter from blaring out of your speaker when the repeater is not in use.

The UHF machine operates on 444.725 mhz with a + 5 mhz offset with a PL 88.5.
