Repeaters
FARA 2 Meter Repeater - K1RK (146.655/-0.6 MHz, PL - 88.5)
The FARA 2m repeater is located in Falmouth, Massachusetts on top of the Falmouth Hospital. It provides coverage for most of southeastern Massachusetts. The call sign is K1RK. The repeater supports both Fusion digital and analog FM. An 88.5 Hz PL tone (CTCSS) is required to key the repeater. Users should also setup the 88.5 tone squelch in their receiver to avoid hearing the digital mode transmissions, which sound like noise bursts when received on an analog FM receiver.
