Greenville Repeater Specs

Operating under our repeater trustee's callsign W8FLH, our primary VHF repeater serves as the
communication backbone for Darke County, featuring remote links and backup power for emergency operations.

Our primary 2m repeater is a Motorola MTR3000 VHF Repeater. It's connected to a Raspberry Pi 5 with a RIM-Lite interface from Repeater Builder. This allows custom controls, announcements, and various other functions via Allstarlink. Our antenna is at 140 feet.

The digital repeater is a homebrew unit with a pair of Motorola GM300 radios, and an STM32-DVM controller, and it's open for use by area hams. It's located on the south end of Greenville, and provides networked DMR communications, and P25 is also available. The repeater's antenna is up about 50 feet.

The WROT272 GMRS repeater is located just a few miles north of Greenville. The repeater is a Motorola Quantar, set for 50 watts, and the antenna is 110 feet above ground. This repeater is open for use by licensed GMRS operators in the area, and is equipped for weather announcements.

WEEKLY ON-THE-AIR NET

The Monday Night Net

Every Monday at 7:00 PM local time, we host the weekly Darke County Amateur Radio Emergency Service Net on 146.790 MHz. This structured net is open to all licensed amateur radio operators. It allows us to learn and practice good net operation with a weekly check-in, equipment test, and community bulletin board.

Whether you are a seasoned operator testing a new high-power beam antenna or a newly licensed technician operating a five-watt handheld transceiver, you are welcome here. Our net control operators ensure a friendly, structured environment for all.

OPERATING PROTOCOL

Our weekly nets begin with emergency and priority traffic check-ins, followed by remote stations, and finally general check-ins. We encourage 'elmering'—our seasoned operators are always ready to help newcomers learn proper on-the-air etiquette.

On-The-Air Guidelines

To keep our weekly nets structured and accessible, we follow standard amateur radio traffic procedures. Please listen for the net control station instructions before transmitting your callsign.

If you are ready to take the next step in amateur radio, we invite you to join our Greenville club and get licensed.
