Repeater
The Sachse N5SAC Ham Radio Club operates one repeater, which is located in Sachse, Texas, about three arm’s lengths from Greg’s ham shack. A future permanent installation will be some five stories above ground level. All licensed amateur operators are welcome to join us on the air; all repeaters are open.
145.25 MHz
Shift (-)0.6
PL tone/TxCTCS: 141.3
Note: If you notice any problems with the club’s repeaters, please contact greg@sachseraces.org via email with a detailed description of the issue. If we don’t know that a repeater is down, we can’t fix it.
While urgency is appreciated, chances are that we are already aware of the problem.
We do record and report misuse of the repeater (or any frequency we monitor) to the FCC.
