respectively.
The I-84
Group Oregon
repeaters are listed in the
repeater
page and they are open for use by any
ham. The talkgroup decks have
been formulated and are published in the new
Oregon
Talkgroup Matrix. All
I-84 repeaters 95% the same talkgroup deck.
For the additional matrix details,
see:
I-84 talkgroup matrix detailed.
A talkgroup has been created and is
labeled as I-84 (TG ID 31419
on timeslot 2). This talkgroup is a linked
local type of talk for use by
participating repeaters in Oregon
and potentially some in southern
Washington. It is loosely
patterned after I-5 but not
restricted to short QSO's as this is
a PNW internal TG. This talkgroup is shared generally among
repeaters located near the I-84
transportation route
and with the agreement
of the I-84 group. |
