In the rack are mounted the ID-RP2C repeater controller (top), the ID-RP2000V 2m repeater (middle), transmitting about 25 watts, and an Astron 20A power supply (bottom) providing 12VDC power. The duplexer was tuned by NU5D Steve Bosshard to 146.98/146.38 MHz. These "cans" allow the repeater to "separate" the incoming and outgoing signals, as in any repeater system. The D-Star repeater antenna is a Diamond CP22E, fed with RG-8U coax and initially installed atop this 80-ft tower located on Speegleville Road, shown above visible on the top-left side of the tower in this photo. It has since been relocated to a tower erected at the Department of Public Safety (DPS) Headquarters in Waco, TX.
