VE7RCK 145.060mhz and 444.625mhz  D-STAR REPEATER

The Chilliwack Amateur Radio Club added D-Star to our VE7RCK Repeater site in 2013. We started with a UHF Module and added a VHF Module in 2014.

We have a Gateway Server at the repeater site that uses a 5ghz data link from our Club Station 5 kilometers away for internet connectivity.  All systems are on battery back-up so the server doesn’t go down due to hydro outages!

The D-Star repeater is also powered by AC and back up battery.  It can be remotely turned off to save on power to lengthen the life of the FM repeater when needed.
