It is my understanding that you can NOT replay the weather alert message on an amateur repeater but rather can only use the monitor radio to activate a message indicating "WEATHER ALERT - LISTEN TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR MORE INFORMATION". We have a system in Cincinnati (operated by the Cincinnati FM Club) that hosts the WARN net and we even set up the repeater with different tail beeps to indicate whether there is a WATCH or WARNING in place. We have the repeater set up to switch to a different PL when it goes to WEATHER WARNING mode. This allow folks to go to bed and leave there radio on with the different PL tone activated. They don't hear any traffic UNLESS the system is put into WARNING mode. It is valuable in the spring and fall since we live in Tornado Alley. All of the switching is done via tone remote control.

Was wondering if anyone has a NOAA weather radio at their repeater site that activates an announcement on the repeater and plays the weather warning or test message?? I am thinking of doing the same thing and just want to know what everyone else is using for equipment such as what kind of repeater controller and what kind of weather receiver? I am using a CAT-200B controller and will need to get a weather radio.. Thanks, Leon-N2HLT __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
