The H. Allen Barris Memorial Club :Station Repeaters:
The NCARC established
its first VHF repeater in the mid 1980's on frequency, 146.850 Mhz. As the
bands got crowded, we requested in 1991 to be re-coordinated by WNYSORC
to the current frequency, 146.625 Mhz. In early
1992, we established a UHF (444.350 Mhz) repeater to add to the flexability
of our communications system. Both repeaters are coordinated with the
Western New York Southern Ontario Repeater Council.
The NCARC repeaters are located
on Concord Dr., 3 miles Southeast of Fredonia,in Town oF Pomfret; on top of the escarpment
at a ground elevation of 1560 feet above sea level. The VHF system
at 146.625 (PL 127.3) is also
part of the Chautauqua County RACES communications system.
The VHF and DSTAR Repeater is located in the city of Fredonia
at an elevation of 780 feet, at coordinated frequency of 147.195
output and 147.795 input, PL 127.3 . This system operates VHF FM Analog and VHF FM DMR. Other info listed below.
The NCARC UHF repeater has very
wide coverage (CURRENTLY ON LOW POWER REPAIR), due to the linking system associated with five other
UHF repeaters and two 6 meter (50 MHZ) repeaters as seen in the
map shown here:
Sherman, NY (442.750Mhz, PL 88.5Hz (hub) &
53.610mhz, PL 127.3Hz)
Mayville, NY (444.450Mhz, PL 88.5Hz)
Fredonia, NY (444.350Mhz, PL 88.5Hz)
Frewsburg, NY (444.500Mhz, PL 88.5 Hz)

Limestone, NY (444.775Mhz, PL 88.5Hz, & 53.310Mhz, PL 127.3)
This linked system provides access from many areas
in Western New York, North East and North Central Pennsylvania,
and parts of Canada.
