This is the re-birth of the WA6HWT repeater and will be linked to the WA6HWT repeater in Grass Valley in the very near future. The repeater was forced to take a sabbatical while a commercial tower was being replaced. The link radio is a Motorola Mitrek which feeds an Antennex 5 element yagi.

The repeater is a modified GE mobile radio. The controller is a Link Comm RLC-4 with ports available for the link radios. The system uses an Astron RM-50 supply and a Celewave 4 cavity BPBR duplexer. The receiver is fed with a bipolar preamp through a 5" bandpass cavity. The transmitter feeds a DB Product Isolator and a 5" bandpass cavity before the duplexer. The antenna is a DB Product 8-bay dipole array located at about 65 feet on the new tower and is fed with 7/8" heliax.
