The highest repeater site that is available to us. This site is located at 18º 04' 29” N 76º 42” 13” W with elevation of 1532 meters in the hills of St. Andrew. All other sites across the Island can see this site; it is for this reason why we use this site as the hub for our Star method of linking the other repeaters.
The equipments used are Kenwood TKR-720 VHF, which is connected to a Kenwood TKR–820 UHF as the link repeater. The VHF repeater uses a Sinclair Q2220E VHF duplexer with a Decibel DB 224E VHF Omni directional antenna. The UHF repeater uses a Sinclair internal duplexer with a Hustler G270-10R UHF antenna.
Two 250Amph. batteries are installed as back up power.
