These are open repeaters, in that we encourage their use by all licensed HAM radio operators. PARC frequencies: 146.840 MHz (-600) - This is the club's main repeater and is located in Washington in the hills above Camas at a little over 3000 ft. Coverage is very good. It will reach as far south as Eugene, West to Astoria, East to Hood River and North to Longview. 146.940 MHz (-600) - This repeater is located on Mt. Scott, so coverage into the Portland metro area, and South to Salem, is excellent. 147.180 MHz (+600) - This packet repeater is located near Damascus. It operates at 1200 baud so far, but will eventually support 9600 also. 144.910 MHz (simplex) - This packet node has been operating since 1995 and provides the club and any other parties with a home BBS that is related to club activities and emergency services. 145.730 MHz (simplex) - This is the traditional PARC home for simplex voice activities. |
