This is a fast scan television repeater. Input is 1255 MHz (FM video) and the output 427.25 MHz. New additional alternate input is 910 MHz (FM video). Look for the repeater on channel 58 with your cable ready TV set. For best results, point a UHF beam (vertically polarized) toward Mount Hamilton or east San Jose foothills. UHF J-poles work quite well also. With good line-of-sight, even rabbit ears antenna has good reception. Two meter talk-in frequency is 145.51 simplex.
