The club has installed VHF and VHF/UHF rigs (Kenwood TM-241 and TM-732A) at the National Weather Service office at Mathis Field for coordinating severe weather spotting activities and VHF (a Kenwood TM-241) and a HF (a Kenwood TS-140S supplied by the city) rig at the San Angelo Emergency Operations Center for use during training exercises and actual emergencies.
The SAARC operates two 2 meter repeaters:
The 146.94 repeater is the primary repeater for club members, local nets, transients, and weather spotting activities. Located atop a high-rise dormitory at Angelo State University, it provides good local coverage with backup emergency power.
The 145.27 repeater, located on the western edge of town, is tied into the Southwest Lynx repeater system giving us communications to many parts of the state. The .27 repeater's antenna is located at 488 feet AGL providing wide-area coverage. This repeater can be used locally with PL 100.0 or connected to the SW Lynx System by using PL 88.5.
