Verified Dallas / Fort Worth 2-meter FM Frequencies
by joel Sampson / N5LXI

This list was created so I could program a new radio several years ago. It is a list of Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex repeaters that I can work from my QTH in East Dallas (Lake Highlands, just north of White Rock Lake). Don't forget to add two meter simplex frequencies.

The repeaters were verified with a Kenwood TS-2000 running 50 watts output into a Comet CX-333 antenna at about 28 feet on a chimney mount. Many of these repeaters could also be worked with less power.

Major updates: Several non-working repeaters were dropped from this list and there are a few additions. Several repeaters now require PL tones. This includes the popular Garland 146.66- machine which now requires PL 110.9.

Please help! If you have comments or corrections, E-mail joel.

- Key-

The repeaters are listed in frequency order. The first column, memory, is where I programmed them in my radios.

The frequency listed is the output frequency of the repeater. A "+" plus sign indicates the input is up 600 kHz. A '-' minus sign indicates the input is down 600 kHz. Most modern radios automatically set standard repeater offsets.

The next column, Tone, indicates is if a PL tone is necessary. In order to reduce interference, some repeaters use a CTCSS, Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System. These tones are often referred to as PL tones, a Motorola Trademark, which stands for Private Line. This low frequency tone is indicated in Hertz. Tones listed in parentheses have tones listed but do not seem be required. Some repeaters only turn on tone access at night.

The next column is the call sign of the repeater and the last column lists any notes I have about the repeater.
