What things assist AREG with repeater construction?

The standardisation of repeater components where possible assists AREG as a very small group of people support the repeater systems we look after. The repeaters themselves may be made of equipment ranging from slightly modified commercial equipment to things that are hard to recognise once the process of repeater construction has been completed.

What makes up an AREG Repeater?

Take a look at the repeater description and design pages for more understanding on what AREG design and construction considerations go into the repeaters we build. The diagram shown below provides a summary of the system components that make up an AREG repeater.

 

Why does AREG build Repeaters?

The members of AREG have been tinkering with repeaters and building them long before AREG was formed. So in some ways it was destined that AREG would be involved in some way, shape or form in the repeater building and maintance in South Australia.

The main reasson that AREG builds repeaters and maintains them is that our members get a great deal of fun out of doing so. AREG also provides a service to its members and the greater Amateur radio community in the process.
