University Mountain Repeaters
and Site
The University Mountain repeater
is located at our site about 3 miles East of Missoula, Montana along the
South side of Interstate 90. The site sits at an elevation of 5,366 feet
and has an 88 foot tower. The UHF repeater consists of a Motorola SLR5700
operating at 50 watts. It is operating into two Celwave PD-1151 antennas
at the top of the tower and fed with 7/8s heliax. These antennas sit at
about 95 feet. In 2017, the repeater is now using a Digital DMR system.
More information about our Digital repeaters can be found on the DMR Montana Website. The repeater covers the Missoula Valley and surrounding
areas, along with providing Interstate 90 coverage from Tarkio to Drummond,
and North and South from Hamilton to the Flathead Valley. The repeater is
linked into the DMR system linked to the Brandmeister Worldwide Digital
Network. The Digital network is connected via a Cisco Wireless Router through
the Verizon Cellular Network. Additionally we operate an APRS Digi-peater
("UNVMTN") at this site and it is connected to a Telewave 2.5Dbd
gain antenna at the top of the tower.
