[PPRAANet] 2 meter net repeater PLEASE RESPOND

[Dennis Major]

As has been previously mentioned, the CMRG 147.345 repeater has great coverage. At last week’s meeting, I did mention to Mike about the possibility of using one of the wide-coverage repeaters of the PPFMA, the 146.970 or 448.450 (100Hz each). I don’t know how many more of our members could reach the wide area 146.970 versus the more local 147.345, but it might be worthy of consideration.

By being a wide-coverage repeater, I dare say that the 146.970 may be a little more universally popular, and therefore may generate a wee bit more interest in the club, due to the wider audience.

Personally, I have no preference either way, but the wide-coverage aspect may be beneficial to the club and its members – especially those who may be in outlying areas or in a shadow from Cheyenne Mountain.

I can't find the email from Mike. He used possibly the CMRG repeater
name in the email that threw me the curve. I have 147.345 programed
in my radios just never heard it called that! When I questioned him and
got the freq. it was like "DUH" okay  now I get it!
Again I don't have a personal preference as to which repeater we use! I
can't speak for Jim (KQL) but he was a little confused as well as me
as to which repeater was on tap!
