It doesn't look like much, but here are a few pictures of the club's new Brandmeister DMR repeater located atop Cox South Hospital. The top "box" is the duplexers donated to the club by OMAR and we are using them to continue their tradition of bringing digital to the Ozarks. The bottom 1U tall box is the 50-Watt UHF repeater.
The 443.400 repeater is the first Brandmeister DMR repeater in the Springfield, MO area. It had a positive offset and uses a color code of 4 on transmit and receive (color codes are the DMR versions of PL tones in the analog world). It uses the UHF repeater that was previously used by the 442.425 repeater.
The repeater is linked up to a Brandmeister server and allows PTT talkgroup activation. I've already heard activity from St Louis on the MO statewide channel and on the KC Metro BYRG talkgroup.
You can also talk local only via talkgroup 2 or talkgroup 9
