GMRS Repeater Usage and Funding Information
This page lists those who have supported the operation and or construction of the GMRS repeater in Mohawk Valley areas of Central New York operated by Bob Carter, WQJK414. The repeater is open for public use and REACT. Occasional use without advance permission is fine, but for routine use please contact the repeater owner. While using the repeater, don't forget to ID every 15 minutes as per FCC rules...you may be asked to ID yourself with your call sign. If so, don't forget to say "Hi" to the repeater owner!
There was once one active business repeater in the region. The repeater was active in the area on 462.650, but it is unknown at this point who owns it or what happened...but it does sound mostly like a grandfathered business operation, so for day to day regular type comms, you are more than welcome to use the repeater on 462.600mhz and not interfere with the business comms on 462.650mhz if they still in operation.

Some details on the 462.600 repeater. It is a 50w UHF repeater
using 1/2" Heliax Hardline with a UHF Ringo Ranger, omni directional. The TX antenna
will eventually be at 40ft above ground. The range will vary on location due to the
urban and suburban environment and area mountainous/hilly terrain (i.e. buildings, obstructions etc).
Write to us via email to obtain permission to use this repeater. Please include your name, callsign, location and purpose for for using the repeater.
This repeater, while the antenna is currently not very high, has coverage mainly aiong the New York State Thruway (I-90) from just east of St. Johnsville to an area between Herkimer/Little Falls. Coverage due to the terrain favors the east.
