REPEATER USE
• Emergency and public service communications shall have priority over all other communications.
• Give priority to mobile stations: Variations in travel distance, terrain and repeater
coverage may make it difficult for mobile stations to hold the repeater reliably, not to
mention the usual hazards of operating a motor vehicle on Washington's metro roadways.
• Welcome and include newcomers & visitors: Encourage newcomers to Amateur Radio and
visiting ham operators to participate in your QSO, round-table, and club activities.
The ARPSC repeater is open to all and repeater use should be encouraged. Please be courteous,
friendly and patient.
• Practice good repeater etiquette: Basic repeater etiquette includes standing by for
the courtesy tone so breaking stations may be heard and the repeater timer can reset; keeping
transmissions brief when a round-table has assembled; and listening so you can learn and
follow the established round-table sequence.
• FCC Rules / Good conduct: Repeater users are expected to know and conduct themselves
according to all applicable FCC rules and established principles of good Amateur Radio practice. ARPSC
has adopted a zero-tolerance policy for unlawful, discourteous, or other behavior that may not reflect
well on ARPSC or Amateur
Radio in general.
• Use PL tone 107.2 to access the 146.625 repeater.
• Public Service Events: Requests to use repeaters for public service events should be submitted in
advance to:
