The KC-NORTH repeater has been changed to a new VHF frequency: 145.110 with a negative offset.
The repeater is north of downtown, along North Oak Trafficway at about 40th Street. Coverage is best to the south.
Please break out the radio programming software and add this to your radios. Signal reports are always welcome!

The Plaza repeater (443.275) is now back online.
After a long testing period, I would like to make a public announcement that the YSF reflector linked to the Kansas City Wide Network of repeaters is available to all.
YSF32453 – US-KCWide – WiresX28054
This entry is listed in the ysf host list on your hotspot.

This link is to the dashboard of the reflector and is publicly available as well. The dashboard will occasionally change in look and functionality in the future.
Don’t forget about the Echolink connection as well. W0FH-L.
You can also reference the Kansas city wide Network website for more information.

There has also been a Facebook group created with information there as well.

The Echolink connection to Kansas City Wide changed. The new link is WØFH-L or node 746258.
Before connecting to Kansas City Wide, we ask that you connect to the conference *ECHOTEST* and adjust your audio for the best quality. We work hard to keep the audio quality high on our digital repeaters.
The Kansas City Room Wide and the K0USY Group (a major participant in KS-DMR) are proud to announce the addition of K0USY and WA0EDA multi-mode digital repeaters to the Kansas City Room Wide.
This brings UHF repeaters located in Basehor, Lawrence, Lecompton, Topeka, and Hays into the Kansas City Room Wide system.
This interconnection only applies to the K0USY Group multi-mode repeaters, not all of KS-DMR.
K0USY multi-mode repeaters support DMR, Fusion, P25 and analog – the modes to not cross-connect to each other, but rather operate as “ships in the night”. If the system is up as Fusion, all are Fusion, if DMR, all are DMR, etc. This ensures the integrity and quality of the audio for each mode and reduces user complexity.
Use these repeaters just like any of the existing Kansas City Room Wide machines: Program the repeater frequency and you’ll be on the Kansas City Room Wide. The only caveat is to check to ensure the repeater is not already in use on another mode (if it’s busy) before transmitting.
Working with Gavin (N0ECQ) and Cort (N0MJS) of the K0USY group has been a treat. They have a great repeater system that is going on its 11th year of service to the ham radio community.
K0USY Group uses the same Motorola public safety grade repeaters and custom MMDVM modems that are used in the Kansas City Room Wide repeaters. They which will ensure interoperability, reliability, voice quality and consistent coverage.
