The Tri-Lakes Amateur Radio Club (TLARC) opened its training program to the community at the Taney County Emergency operations center in Hollister, Missouri this morning (2/16).
James Adkins (KB0NHX), Chief Field Technician, Missouri State Highway Patrol Communications Division presented information on the Southwest Missouri Linked Repeater System (SMLRS).
The purpose of SMLRS is to enable amateur radio operators in the region's 3 largest metropolitan areas - Branson, Joplin and Springfield - to communicate among each other as needed during disasters and drills for the region. The system consists of 8 repeaters and provides mobile communications for most of the Region D area in Southwest Missouri.
TLARC operates the VHF repeater on 147.195 Mhz and digital mobile radio (DMR) repeater on 147.150 Mhz frequencies.
James later reflected, "It's Always great when you can teach folks about the link system, and get more people familiar with it!"
