- Notes
- This is a 5 watt portable repeater designed to contingency/emergency communications to GMRS users in and around the City of Newport, RI. The antenna offers 5dbi gain. The owner has a special interest in helping neighbors pass messages to city first responders during the extreme situations when normal phone/cell services are compromised. The project is called the Newport County Community Radio Lifeline. Visit https://www.gen4ai.org/ for additional information on this project launched in 2024. All are invited to check in on FRS/GMRS Channel 3 each Wednesday night around 730PM. Following initial radio checks on FRS/GMRS channel 3 (462.6125 MHz) we invite GMRS users to make communication checks through the repeater. This repeater may not operate 24 by 7 and its location may be moved from time around Newport to practice portability and understand its coverage around the area.
