About the Repeater:

The W9ARP D-STAR Repeater is located in West Lafayette, Indiana. It is the 2nd D-STAR repeater in Indiana (the first being the W9ICE system in Indianapolis, which is no longer on the air). The W9ARP D-STAR repeater supports digital voice and low speed data on 70cm.
 
70cm: The repeater transmits 425 watts ERP D-STAR DV from an omni vertical antenna at a height of 850 feet above sea level (150 ft. AGL). Output is on 444.300 and the input is on 449.300 (+5Mhz offset).

 

How you can help:

Monthly costs for tower site lease, internet, and insurance add up quickly. Your donation to help keep the W9ARP repeater on the air and open to use for the community are greatly appreciated. Please consider making a donation. Any amount helps.
