Voice Repeaters (FM)
KØKKV
Lincoln Amateur Radio Club Repeater
146.760-
This is the LARC's primary repeater. It covers the Southeast Nebraska area and serves as our primary Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) repeater. It is also our primary SKYWARN repeater during severe weather events. SKYWARN activities serve to protect the lives of area citizens by providing vital information to Lincoln/Lancaster County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service.
You are invited to join our nets which are held nightly at 9:00 PM local time. It is an open repeater, as are most of the repeaters in this area, but your membership in LARC is essential in keeping this machine on the air.
Under routine use, this repeater generates a sub-audible tone of 100 Hz. To eliminate the annoyance of unwanted interference, you may set your CTCSS (tone squelch) to 100 Hz. You do NOT need to generate a tone yourself to access the repeater. During severe weather events and other ARES activations, the repeater will generate a tone of 123 Hz.

Digital Mode Repeaters and Frequencies
KØKKV KØGND
Packet Cluster Node
147.510
Packet Cluster is an exciting way to monitor DX activity on the bands. KØGND and KØKKV host our local cluster, which is connected to a series of similar clusters throughout the Midwest. When other hams hear or work a rare DX station, they post the news to their local cluster and the info appears instantly on your computer screen! Set your packet radio to 147.510, type "c k0gnd" to connect to the cluster, then sit back and watch the fun!
APRS Automatic Position Reporting System
144.390
APRS is a great way to keep track of other stations. Mobile and fixed APRS stations' actual positions can be displayed on your computer mapping software, along with other information such as tracking, speed, elevation and personal weather station data. With APRS you do not need to "connect" to another machine or station. Simply start your favorite APRS software and tune to 144.390.
