Repeater Coverage Maps
Maps coutesy of KC9TSU
The orange ring is not a "range" ring. Any moderate gain antenna should be able to access the system within
this ring. A larger gain antenna will be needed outside this ring.
The orange/yellow colored areas may allow HT access/coverage. The puple colored areas should allow good mobile access/coverge. And the gray areas should allow easy base station access. This is all apparent. Your location and working conditions may prove otherwise.
