The first Digital Voice Amateur Radio repeater is on the air
in Syracuse. This joint venture between
KD2SL and KC2VER is unique on two counts: 1) It is the first digital amateur
repeater on the air in Syracuse and Onondaga County; 2) It is the only repeater
system we know of in the country to link an analog repeater with a System Fusion
digital repeater, for full-time cross-mode operation in the same band, at the
same site, on the same antennas. Both of these coordinated repeaters are open to all Hams.
The KC2VER repeater is on 145.31 (-) no PL tone, and is set up for full time C4FM digital operation. The KD2SL analog repeater is on 146.67 (-) 103.5 PL, and is linked full-time with KC2VER’s digital repeater. Some final tuning and adjustments will be taking place over the next several weeks.

If you have a System Fusion
equipped radio, jump over to the 145.31 repeater and give it a try. If you
don’t, take a listen on the 146.67 to get an idea of what C4FM digital voice
sounds like.
Let us know what you think, both Kevin (KD2SL@yahoo.com) and I (KC2VER@gmail.com) would be
interested in your thoughts, questions and comments on this new set up. (...or leave us a comment below)
Also note that there are several more C4FM Sytem Fusion repeaters coming to CNY and the upstate area in the next few months. Stay tuned to www.UpstateHam.com for more System Fusion updates.
