New Farmville/Leigh Mountain repeater joins DMRVA system
The first jointly managed repeater between the N4HRS and DMRVA teams came on the air a few days ago in the Farmville/Prince Edward County area. A Motorola XPR8400 was installed to replace older hardware that had intermittent issues. The system remains on 444.325 MHz (CC 9) and is connected to a DB-408 antenna (top left). This system will provide coverage to stations along route 360 between Appomattox and Amelia counties as well as along portions of route 460, 60, 15 and others. Stations in Buckingham, Cumberland, Charlotte and Lunenburg will also be able to access the repeater. Initial testing has been very positive. We are looking for reports from stations who are able to use the system. Please drop us a line and let us know about your experience.
