Repeaters in operation 

The club operates a VHF /UHF linked repeater system and we also have a linked system to Kemptonpark via a set of radio's connected  in series to Kemptonpark and Pothefstroom and onto a VHF/UHF setup in Hartebeesfontein which in turn is connected to the Klerksdorp VHF/UHF Linked repeater. Our normal coverage is about 50 km  from the city Centre. Although greater distance is possible .

The repeater on Doringkruin has a Battery backup system in place which should be able to last at least 24hours.A alarm system is also installed to alert the repeater manager should there be a power failure or entry to the building. We further envisaged a webcam to be installed on the high site for monitoring purposes soon.
