Bryan! Great news on the St. Pete Repeaters! As it happens, I just acquired a UHF P25 handeld... Are these that talkgroups you have in there? I would be interested if you would add one as well..... When I get home tonight, I will program up the radio and give you a report! 73, Steve K4KSA On Mon, Apr 30, 2018 at 12:35 AM, Bryan Fields <bryan@flscg.org> wrote:

Over this weekend the FSG site in St Pete came online. We have three UHF repeaters online at the 400' level in downtown St Petersburg.
The Frequencies are: 443.7625 NXDN (RAN1) 444.3750 Analog and P25 (146.2 PL/293 NAC) and Allstar Node 42033 444.9625 DMR (CC1)
We're still doing some debugging, but everything appears to be working well thus far. We're running all repeaters on a single antenna and have quite a bit of loss in our filtering on RX and TX to make this happen. Check the details on the website for this.
I've done a bit of testing on the 444.3750 and found it to cover up to Erlich road on the veterans, and am able to use the repeater from inside my house in St Pete Beach. I'd expect fill in coverage across the bay, with emphasis on sun city center where we have a null from Tampa now. This should cover all of Pinellas county from Clearwater to St Pete for HT coverage.
Please give it try. I'll let Ryan talk in about the NXDN and DMR systems, as they will compliment nicely with the Tampa repeaters. As far as I know FSG has the only NXDN repeater in St Pete and one of the few in Tampa Bay.
Program them in and give it a try.
