The repeater controller supports an in band link radio, a GE MVP which allows connection to the 444.600 repeater in Auburn. The repeater is normally linked.The link radio looks through a 4" Motorola bandpass cavity tuned to 449.600 mhz into a Larsen 6 element yagi. The bandpass cavity keeps transmitter noise out of the repeater receiver and also attenuates the link receiver, keeping it from hearing the Bay Area repeater on the same channel.
