Repeaters

As of May 22, 2015 The Halton Amateur Radio Club conventional analog VHF (VE3OD) and UHF (VE3THA) FM repeaters have been replaced with Yaesu DR-1X 144/430 Dual Band C4FM/FM Digital System Fusion repeaters.

 

DR-1X

 

The DR-1X repeaters will continue the use of conventional analog FM communications while integrating the use of digital communication functions through its AMS (Automated Mode Select) capability. The AMS function automatically recognizes the signal as either 12.5 kHz C4FM digital or conventional analog FM and then the DR-1X repeater will retransmit the signal using the preset (conventional analog FM) communications mode.

System Fusion is not compatible with the D-STAR GMSK digital format.
