Description

The original Grizzly Mountain repeater was destroyed by a massive lightning strike several years ago. The current machine was rebuilt and is now owned by private parties.

The repeater is a converted GE Master II mobile rig with an off-the shelf controller, featuring voice ID'er and the standard features such as an alligator, remote control, etc. The transmitter runs approximately 50 watts output.

The antenna is a double folded dipole up 80 feet on a shared tower; the antenna produces approximately 3.8 dB of gain. Allowing for feedline losses, this provides an ERP of just over 100 watts in an omnidirectional coverage pattern.

Power is provided by a bank of wet lead-acid batteries, floated on a switching power supply.
