Introduction

The K-Link Repeater System is the result of many years of hard work and support of countless Amateur Radio Operators in North Central Kansas.

Our mission is to build and maintain a large, dependable, and pleasant-sounding link system to cover as much of rural Kansas as we can.  We also strive to support and improve the club and privately-owned repeaters in our area that are not directly part of the link system.  This is because we understand that having a separate, localized communications channel is just as important as having a wide-area system.  We provide technical support and assistance to repeater owners that need it.

The original link system (started ca. 1991) consisted of these repeaters:

• Delphos 444.850+ (N0AAB)

• Concordia 146.73- (W0TQ <SK>)

• Miltonvale 147.51 simplex remote (WB0SRP)

• Lincoln 147.195+ (K0MXJ)

• Smolan 146.625- (WD0GAH)

The hub repeater (444.850) was located on a hill about 5 miles southwest of Delphos with an antenna 30 feet above ground (on a high hill) until sometime in 1994 when the old Motorola IMTS equipment was decommissioned  and a GE Mastr II mobile was put into service on a tower east of Lamar, Ks at about 200 feet.

As time went on, several more repeaters came online, some changed frequency, and some ceased operation.
Then, on August 16, 1998 at the Salina Hamfest, most of the trustees of the linked repeaters had a meeting to discuss the future of the link system.  We also voted on a name.

Today it is known as The K-Link Repeater System.

We are proud to provide the state's most dependable linked repeater system that features great audio quality and is engineered to the highest possible standards.  We work hard to maintain and expand our system.  We hope to hear you soon!
