W8VPV Repeater

The repeater is located on the top floor of a ten story apartment building in downtown Cuyahoga Falls. The transmit antenna height is 1,080 feet above sea level and 231 feet above the ground. Output frequency is 147.270 MHz with the input frequency of 147.870 MHz.

The repeater is normally in CTCSS ("PL" tone) mode. The tone used is 110.9 Hz and the words "P L", are occasionally added to the repeater reset tone. During nets and for Skywarn use the tone is usually turned off. The repeater always transmits the 110.9 Hz tone so you can use your radio's CTCSS decode function to make sure you only hear our repeater.

The effective radiated power of the system is 290 watts with coverage for the greater Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, and surrounding areas. The repeater is owned and operated by the Cuyahoga Falls Amateur Radio Club, Inc.
