Club Repeater
The Jayhawk Amateur Radio Society operates a 2 meter repeater on 147.15+ Mhz. Although this is an open repeater for any properly licensed amateur radio operator, the repeater can only be accessed using encode and decode tones of 151.4 Hz. These tones prevent the repeater and user from being affected by persistent interference. On Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM local, a general interest net can usually be found operating on the repeater. This net is also open and everyone is invited to check in.
The repeater is located on top of the high rise at 61st & Leavenworth Road, Kansas City, Kansas.
