State Repeater Information
See the Wyoming Repeaters page for more.
Voice Repeaters
All repeaters listed are 'open' to all licensed operators.
Linked Systems
WyoComm
WyoComm is a growing, not-quite state wide linking system that allows voice communications across large areas of Wyoming with common 2m gear - often hand helds! See the WyoComm page for information and details. See the Wyoming Repeaters page for more.
2m Simplex
See the WY 2m Simplex page for suggested simplex channel spacing.
2m Repeaters
This Page has coverage maps - may be useful in deciding what repeaters you want to use.
- 146.940 123.0hz tone (146.340) - W7VNJ
- Part of the WyoComm linked repeater system.
- Wider area (regional) repeater on Casper Mnt.
- Linked with 146.805 on Copper Mnt.
- note: 146.940 also transmits a 123.0hz tone on it's output.
- Loca coverage map
- 145.235 100hz tone (144.635) - W7VNJ
- The 235's controller has failed. This repeater is OFFLINE until further notice
- Local area (metro) at the W7VNJ tower site
- Local coverage map
- note: 145.235 also transmits a 100hz tone on it's output.
- 146.640 173.8hz tone (146.040) - KD7AGA
- Wider area (regional) repeater on Casper Mnt.
- Not linked to anyone or anything else - a stand alone repeater.
- 146.910 100.0hz tone (146.310) - ??
- Douglass group repeater - has a 70cm link to Wheatland(?).
- 146.805 100hz tone (146.205) - ??
- Copper Mountain repeater - Covers: Riverton, Thermopolis and Lander(?)
- WyoComm Hub
- 2m coverage map
- 147.280+ 107.2hz tone (147.880) - W7VNJ Autopatch
- note: 147.280+ also transmits a 107.2hz tone on it's output.
#*Please read the "Rules of the Road" for autopatch use. #*Sorry, this system does not have reverse autopatch. #* Use * (star) to "Bring Up" the autopatch - dial a call. #* Use # (pound) to "Down" the autopatch - hang up
NOTE:Some of our repeaters also transmit the same PL tone they use on RX. This allows each operator the option to use CTCSS on their receivers. Wether or not you choose to use CTCSS, repeater usage and operation is not changed.
Coverage
This page has coverage maps for most of the W7VNJ repeaters.
70cm Repeaters
- 449.575 173.8hz tone - KD7AGA - IRLP node 7707.
- This repeater did transmit a 173.8hz PL tone, but it appears down. It is not suggested you enable CTCSS in your receiver at this time.
- IRLP usage guidelines
- See The KD7AGA IRLP DTMF page for some of the customized, local commands available.
- 449.900 88.5hz tone - KD7AGA - Located at the W7VNJ tower site
- 10 meter remote base on 29.60 Mhz
- 6 meter remote base on 52.545Mhz
- 449.500 100.0hz tone - NB7I
Standard Offsets
- Traditionally, repeaters are named for their output frequency.
- Unless noted in a repeaters listing, the following standard offsets apply.
| Output Mhz | Direction | Offset Mhz |
|---|---|---|
| 51 - 52 | Neg | 0.5 |
| 52 - 54 | Neg | 1.0 |
| 144.51 - 144.89 | Pos | 0.6 |
| 145.11 - 145.49 | Neg | 0.6 |
| 146.0 - 146.39 | Pos | 0.6 |
| 146.61 - 147.0 | Neg | 0.6 |
| 147.0 - 147.39 | Pos | 0.6 |
| 147.6 - 147.99 | Neg | 0.6 |
| 440 - 445 | Pos | 5.0 |
| 445 - 450 | Neg | 5.0 |
- Taking the published output of 146.940Mhz and the standard offset indicated, that repeater's input frequency is 146.340Mhz.
Repeater etiquette
A very basic primer on how to not embarrass yourself - too badly - on the "local repeater".
Digital Systems
APRS infrastructure
All APRS traffic is on 144.390 - Unconnected Information (UI) frames, AX.25. Traditional paths using RELAY,WIDE or WIDEn-n and the newer WIDEn-n only paths will work. TRACE and TRACEn-n are also supported. Please keep your paths reasonable. 2 or 3 hops is usually sufficient.
- Suggested paths:
- Mobiles: WIDE3-3
- Fixed Stations: WIDE2-2
Excessive paths (such as WIDE7-7, etc) will often land you on a digipeater's 'LID List' - blocked out of that digipeater. This isn't a punitive action - but rather an attempt to protect the RF network from packet floods in neighboring areas.
Internet Gateways and public servers
- KC7ZRU-15 - Casper I-gate, West side
- aprsdCSP - A rocky mnt. regional server - full APRS-IS feed
- KE7AZF-1 - I-gate, East side (occasional, fill-in and backup)
digipeaters
- KD7AGA-5 - Copper Mnt digi
- KD7AGA-6 - Casper Mnt digi
- KD7AGA-7 - Douglass, WY digi (Currently OFFLINE until a new site can be obtained)

Traditional Packet
I know of no connected mode amateur AX.25 activity in Wyoming.
