Duplex "Hub" Linking Repeaters
11 Repeater Pairs, 25 KHz spacing, 5 MHz split, High input, Low output, maximum 100w ERP.

446.525 - 441.525    446.550 - 441.550    446.575 - 441.575    446.600 - 441.600    446.625 - 441.625

446.775 - 441.775   
 

These repeater pairs are reserved for use as a wide area linking "hub" repeater that tie a group of standard FM voice 
repeaters together. The SERA strongly recommends this method of linking rather that using in band or remote base
type linking.


Link Channels (Narrow Band FM)
These link channels share designated ATV Bandwidths using horizontal antenna polarity. 
Frequencies will be coordinated with a maximum 25 watts ERP and directional antenna systems.

* Link frequencies above 439 MHz may use vertical polarity at the coordinator's discretion.


NOTE: Contact your respective SERA Director, Vice Director, or Frequency Coordinator, for information about the need 
for coordination of your system, before installing and operating the system. Most simplex voice and digital-packet operations
are itinerant in nature, and as such will not be coordinated by SERA. Digital-Packet operators should contact their local 
digital-packet organization for additional information. Simplex cross band voice, as is possible with most over the counter
dual band radios, is also considered itinerant in nature and will not be coordinated; however, users are asked to use the
assigned frequencies shown in this document.
