2M 720

2 metre FM repeater – 147.200MHz (+600kHz offset), No Tone

*** As of November 2019, the 147.200MHz repeater is linked to 147.050 in South Taranaki, and to 146.900 in Wanganui.  The 690 repeater also has connection through Echolink so it can be accessed from around the world.

A working bee was recently held at the repeater site.  Ngaire writes:

“On Saturday 11th January we went up to the 720 repeater to do some repairs.  We set the deviation on the transmitter, checked power and SWR on the antenna.  The mould on the building was cleaned and sprayed in preparation for painting.  Bonded the frames of the solar panels ran an earth wire to the system earth stake.  Cleaned the nuts and bolts holding the base of the tower and measured up for the new aerial fittings.  Ran solar panel wiring into the hut via a conduit.

Greg ZL2BZH previously replaced the off-frequency transmitter with a Motorola transmitter.”
