Our
new 145.490 repeater went on the air September
1, 2011.
The commercial grade rack
mounted equipment consists of a Kenwood TKR-750 radio, CAT
1000 Controller, 100 watt Henry
amplifier, duplexer and power supply. The antenna is feed with
hard line and is mounted on the east side of the county
communications tower, 80 feet above the Sandusky County EOC at
2323
Countryside Drive, Fremont, Ohio. The repeater and our radio
room are located in the secure lower level of the complex with
emergency power generator backup. The repeater will provide
emergency communications for the citizens of Sandusky County when
activated by the Emergency Management Agency Director.
