The Nixa
Amateur Radio Club, Inc. (K0NXA) entered the world of DMR (Digital Mobile
Radio) in May 2017 with the installation of a UHF Brandmeister DMR repeater in
South Springfield. As a club, we are
interested in not only expanding DMR in the Southwest Missouri Region, but also
joining forces with groups such as the BYRG in the Kansas City Metro Area to
expand DMR throughout Missouri.
The club
currently supports 2 DMR repeaters in the Springfield area and has helped with
the Brandmeister Repeaters in operation in Bolivar and Nevada and is actively
working with other groups to expand the DMR coverage in the region.
Brandmeister
DMR repeaters in the Springfield Metro area:
443.400 + Color Code 5 Located in South Central Springfield atop Cox South Hospital
146.775 - Color Code 5 Located in Northeast Ozark
Both
repeaters follow our region plan for static and local talkgroups:
TS 1 31291 SWMO
(Southwest Missouri) Talkgroup
TS 1 3129 MO
Statewide
TS 1 2 Local
2
TS 1 9 Local 9
TS2 31201 BYRG
(Back Yard Repeater Group) KC Metro Talkgroup
If you are
travelling through the area, you are welcome to use any talkgroup that is not
listed above as static EXCEPT 3100. To
use a talkgroup not listed, please use it on TS 1 because the BYRG talkgroup is
an active talkgroup on the repeaters. We
do allow private calls, but please be aware that they are not private. We ask that you limit your private calls to 5
minutes or less so as to not tie up the repeaters. We do allow for the use of GPS reporting to
the Brandmeister APRS.FI server and routinely use that function during bike
rides and other communications events where access to our local digipeater is
limited.
In addition
to the two Nixa ARC sponsored DMR repeaters, you may also be interested in the
following Brandmeister DMR repeaters in the region:
443.675+ Color Code 5 Bolivar, MO
443.975+ Color Code 5 Nevada, MO
444.675+ Color Code 5 North Springfield
444.525+ Color Code 5 Neosho
443.975+ Color Code 5 Nevada, MO
444.675+ Color Code 5 North Springfield
444.525+ Color Code 5 Neosho
We are
looking to expand the DMR network into the Joplin and Branson areas and
beyond. If you have an interest in
installing a normal or wide coverage DMR repeater on the Brandmeister network
in support of DMR in our region, please email [email protected] for more
details.
