Re: ASTRO Ham Band Repeaters (NATIONWIDE LIST)

If you're up in the Barrie/Collingwood area then you'll have coverage on VA3IMB on 147.2850Mhz (156.7hz/NAC 293) but that's generally from Newmarket and above with a mobile. With the number of guys in the Toronto area with P25 gear, I'm surprised nobody has bothered yet. There is a P25 UHF repeater...

Heres how I see it with encryption...

I'm an Astro guy, but I have started to get interested in DStar, if the price dropped and there were more DStar repeaters on the air (right now we're tied 1 for 1 with Astro and DStar repeaters) I would probably take a leap and get one to try.

Astro Spectra W9 VHF & 800MHz CPG

I'm currently looking for a code plug for a W9 VHF high split radio and a W9 800MHz radio. I would prefer a whore flash at the current time if someone has it.

If you have one and are nice enough to let me have a copy, It would be greatly appreciated.
