About The 145.470 Repeater
The 145.470 (-) (optional decode tone: 118.8 Hz) repeater is located NORTH
of the Knoxville area - high atop Cross Mountain!
The 145.47 repeater celebrates 40 years of service in 2021!
Please note: If you hear a "beep" tone at 15-second intervals, this indicates that the repeater is on emergency battery power.
When this repeater was first put into service at this location, it was hoped that it would cover an area just to the north of Knoxville to up near the state line... however... that was not to be the case. As it turns out, we were pleasantly surprised that this machine has far exceeded those boundaries!
In reality... this repeater covers a wide and rugged area of the Southeastern United States! Many regular users of this machine do so routinely from Tennessee, North Carolina and Kentucky!
Although many East Tennessee hams use this machine every day, we have been known to make contacts in Virginia... Georgia and even parts of Ohio!
Some of the equipment that makes up this machine includes:
- General Electric "Mastr II" VHF repeater with internal controller
- Autocode CW ID unit
- Celwave (Phelps Dodge) PD-497 6-cavity pass/reject duplexers
- Sinclair SD-224 4 element folded dipole VHF antenna
- 1/2 inch Andrew "heliax" transmission line
- Motorola "Maxtrac" UHF mobile transciever for remote control
- Broadcast Tools DTD-16 DTMF decoder for remote control
- Four (4) FP-AGM24 backup batteries and battery tender (charger) NOTE: If you are using the 145.47 repeater, and hear a "beep" tone at 15 second intervals, it means that the electrical power is off and the battery backup is active.

Since 2007
Thanks To Tim Berry WB4GBI For His Support and Dedication To AmateurRadio & All Our Great Members Who Have Supported The 470 ARG
The 470 ARG was created back in 2007 at the Ten Tec Hamfest, a group of folks from several states wanted to get together, once a week and see how each of us was doing, talk about amateur radio, new gear we may have got, and just good old QSO's while enjoying the fellowship between us. It started out with 14 of us and since then has had over 127 check in's on the net, with 1.3 K members and growing every day. Over the years we've added a Trivia Challenge , Tech Talk, Question & Answer section, but most of all at the beginning of the net a Invocation and Prayer Request ..
Our Net Runs From 7:30 pm EST / 2330 UTC for about 3.5 hours on the 145.470 repeater of Tim Berry WB4GBI.

but this is only to eliminate reception problems - not to close a repeater!)
