Toston Repeater and Site

The Toston repeater is located on Lombard Mountain about 7 miles southeast of Toston, Montana. It is at an elevation of 4,575 feet and on a 100 foot tower. The repeater antenna is a Phelps Dodge PD-1151, 8db gain, omni directional antenna located at the top of the tower and fed with inch and 5/8s heliax. Testing has shown that the repeater easily covers Bozeman, Belgrade, and much of I90 towards Butte, as well as US12 and State Route 287 from Winston to Three Forks and into Helena. The repeater is a Motorola SLR5700 installed July 19, 2020 and is connected to the Brandmeister DMR Network. The Digital system has more information to our Digital Website at www.dmr-montana.net. Additionally we operate an APRS digi-peater ("TOSTON") at the site and feeds an Decibel Products DB-222E oriented with 6Dbd gain towards the West to Townsend and Helena.
