444.850+ Minneapolis (PL 162.2) KSØLNK/R

The repeater is a GE Mastr II. The antenna is a 1978 model Decibel Products DB-408 located at 280 feet AGL.   The controller is a CAT 1000 made by Computer Automation Technology.

Power output:  65 watts @ duplex antenna port.

Receive Sensitivity:  .15uV @ duplex antenna port.

This repeater is the "hub" of the entire K-Link repeater system.  It features a few weekly nets, and hosts storm spotting and other routine traffic.

The repeater encodes the PL tone (162.2) during CAS activity.

If your radio cannot encode a PL tone, enter 1662 on your DTMF pad.  This will allow open access until the repeater is at rest for 10 minutes.

Typical mobile range is 30 miles.
