We currently operate 5 repeaters, four for general use and one that is devoted to ARES/RACES communications.

Our Franklin, Pleasantville, and Parker repeaters are all linked together via radio links. What you transmit into one goes out on all four. The locations and details of each repeater are as follows.

DMR Repeater
Our Oil City repeater is separate from our linked repeater system. It accepts input in both the DMR digital mode (Color Code: 1 and Time Slot: 2) and the FM analog mode. If you transmit using FM, you will only be repeated locally. However, if you transmit using DMR, you will be repeated locally and through our with MMDVM Package, which is connected BrandMeister Network via the internet. Our DMR system is set to Talkgroup #310877 FVMKC by default.
