Last Saturday June 27, three Mototrbo repeaters were successfully linked via an Internet connection between California and Iowa.
All three repeaters are in the 440 MHz amateur radio band and are currently linked full time. The Mototrbo repeaters, mobiles and portables are completely digital. Audio quality is very clear and natural. There are two voice time slots and in my case, one slot is connected to the other repeaters. The second voice slot is not and can be used for local repeated QSOs. Two conversations can occur at the same time. GPS and text messaging are also supported. Mobile and portable digital coverage appears to be better than my analog repeater that was removed from the same repeater antenna. If you have a Mototrbo repeater and would like to learn more about linking it to us, please contact me. Randy WB0VHB
