BCARS Makes Equipment Upgrades:

From : bedfordgazette.com on 2023-02-23

The Bedford County Amateur Radio Society (BCARS) has recently upgraded its radio capability in HF, VHF, and UHF frequencies in the county's emergency operations center. The previous equipment had been in operation for over 20 years. "Like anything else in modern technology, more frequent upgrades are necessary," said BCARS secretary John Hogenmiller, who is also the club's acting emergency communications coordinator. "We now have the capability to operate several additional modes on our newly renovated 145 MHz, 224 MHz, and 444 MHz repeating transmitters also known as repeaters. This new technology enables BCARS, through its auxiliary communications service and the federally-enabled Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service, to assist the county Department of Emergency Services as a communications backup system if needed."
