New UHF Repeater in Goochland joins the Network

The K2VIZ 443.4375 MHz (CC1) repeater located in the Gum Springs area of Goochland has joined the network. Testing with a mobile radio has demonstrated coverage from Ferncliff (Louisa County) to Rockville (Goochland) along I-64.  This repeater will bring coverage to other areas in Goochland, including Shannon Hill, Gum Springs and Hadensville including routes 250 and 33.

The TG line up is the standard DMRVA talkgroup including Richmond Metro.  This system enhances the coverage around metro Richmond, complementing the existing sites such as Beaverdam, Richmond, Petersburg, Powhatan and New Kent. Look for an updated talkgroup matrix to be published shortly.
