I am just curious if any other amateur 2 meter repeater has a more complex RACES Skywarn paging system than the 146.88 W5FC Dallas TX repeater?
The normal daytime amateur state of the repeater is 110.9 Hz full PL. To go into RACES Skywarn mode the following sequence occurs: 1. Repeater Mode changes: a. PL changes to 114.8 Hz b. RX squelch changes to OR mode squelch. Carrier squelch OR 114.8 Hz PL encode opens repeater. OR squelch allows the carrier squelch threshold to be set higher than PL squelch threshold. 2. RACES Tones out: a. 30 second DTMF "A" tone b. Motorola 2 tone sequential pager tones group 1 c. Motorola 2 tone sequential pager tones group 2 d. DTMF "0" sent three times in quick succession to activate the old Kenwood DTMF paging decoders available in their older units. I would love to hear from anyone that has a more complex paging routine. 73 Bernie Parker K5BP Dallas Amateur Radio Club Tech Officer
