The VA3XFT UHF Repeater

Say hello to the newest addition to the VA3XPR repeater family! This Motorola MSF5000 110 watt UHF repeater, which is identical to the one used for VA3XPR, was one of the many treasures found at the 2012 Dayton Hamvention. It has made the long journey back to Toronto to provide IRLP and EchoLink connectivity to the VA3XPR repeater from the QTH of VA3XFT in downtown Toronto.

This repeater will operate on 446.850- MHz with a PL of 67.0 Hz. Both the VA3XPR and VA3XFT repeaters will be linked 24/7 and licensed operators are welcome to use either one to communicate.
