With the tune-up and testing completed yesterday, it's ready for use. Here are the particulars:
Frequency: 147.99 MHz
Offset: -0.6 MHz (standard, probably the default on your radio)
PL Tone: 94.8 Hz
The coverage of Franklin County is best described as good to adequate, depending of course on how close you are to Carrabelle. From Apalachicola you'll need 50 watts and a 20'+ antenna mast to get scratchy but useable service, but it does work. Because the repeater's antenna is on the north side of the Carrabelle water tower, coverage to the islands is non-existent and to Alligator Point is difficult. OTOH, coverage into Tate's Hell Swamp should be outstanding.
Testing continues so stay tuned.
