The KB9OHY repeater system consists of two independently operated repeaters that provide dependable amateur radio coverage across Orange County and much of Southern Indiana. Our primary 2-meter repeater (147.045 MHz) is located on the Patoka Regional Water District tower, just south of Paoli, Indiana. It serves as the club's primary communications system and features AllStarLink connectivity, allowing users to connect to repeaters and networks around the world. The repeater also integrates Skywarn Plus, which automatically announces National Weather Service watches and warnings to help keep operators informed during severe weather.Â
Our 70-centimeter repeater (444.025 MHz) is located at the Paoli Municipal Airport, just north of Paoli, Indiana, and operates in both analog FM and Yaesu C4FM System Fusion digital modes, providing users with the flexibility of traditional FM communications as well as crystal-clear digital voice. Together, the KB9OHY repeaters support daily amateur radio activity, emergency communications, SKYWARN weather operations, club events, and reliable communications for both local and visiting amateur radio operators throughout the region.
