The repeater is the Yaesu in the picture. You can look up the details on their website. The repeater will transmit at 50 watts but not continuous duty, at the rated continuous duty medium power output we only get 12.5 watts after duplexer losses. The external amplifier gets us back to 55 watts out.

The tower is 220′ high and we are using DB-224 and DB-420 antennas that are top mounted.

For now we have a small UPS and the site has a generator for backup.
