All the repeaters are normally linked together and with the Northern B.C. network via Boer Mountain (Burns Lake).

The club also maintains an IRLP node (1126) on 147.33 simplex (100hz PL) and an autopatch on 146.48 simplex (no PL). The IRLP can be linked to the repeaters for special purposes. Contact us for autopatch and linking codes.
