Ever wonder what your station sounds like to everyone else? Curious as to
your Audio quality into the repeaters? Wonder no more, You now can check
your audio and signal on either repeater by following these easy steps:
Push your PT button and enter 999 on keypad and unkey.
Repeater will respond with "ready"
After you hear the 'Ready" confirmation key your radio and make a voice
transmission, then unkey the radio.
That transmission will be played back and then erased.

Our Repeaters are available for all to use and enjoy ! However during Central Indiana Skywarn Events, The 442.975 will be dedicated to National Weather Service Net Control Operations located at the NWS in Indianapolis. You are able to monitor severe weather reports from the entire Central Indiana Skywarn System in real time on 442.975 mhz with a pl of 103.5. During severe weather, this frequency is ONLY for Central Indiana Service Area County Nets to report back to the Central Indiana Skywarn net control. Please do not make INDIVIDUAL reports to the National Weather Service on 442.975. The Central Indiana Skywarn Team stays very busy during weather events, and taking non life threatening individual reports consumes their resources needlessly. Those INDIVIDUAL reports should go through your local County Skywarn Net or 145.250. If you are not sure if your county is served by Central Indiana Skywarn, please refer to their service area map Central Indiana Skywarn Service Area Of
course, in the event of a life-threatening situation, which requires the
immediate attention of the National Weather Service, the 442.975 is your
direct link to them.
The
Jennings County Skywarn Net will be operated on the 145.250 no PL repeater,
and will be available to pass traffic to the State Net when requested.
