Our linked repeater coverage in the Kansas City Metro overlaps, providing some redundancy in the case of power failure or emergency, and aiding lower power stations access across the area.
PLEASE! Make sure you have your valid callsign programmed into the panel of your Yaesu Fusion radio! Invalid callsigns will prevent you from being heard in large portions of the room. In most cases, you will find your radio blocked from the room completely.
When using Kansas City Wide, your Fusion radio must be in DN mode. VW mode will not be sent to any of the bridged networks (YSF, DMR, DStar, etc.).
When accessing local repeaters, please refer to the Kansas City Wide Repeater Map to select the repeater closest to you.
