The PEARL Repeaters

PEARL operates repeaters on the 2m and 70cm bands. See below for a list of PEARL repeater frequencies. The transmitter deviation is limited to 5 KHz to avoid interference with neighboring repeaters. The PEARL repeaters are housed on Mt. Ninham, near Carmel, New York, at an elevation of 1320 feet. Since the primary purpose of the PEARL repeaters is to provide emergency communications, this always takes priority over all other communications.

Most of the time, however, you will find the PEARL repeaters available for general use by hams throughout the area. Repeater coverage is quite extensive, and you will find many amateurs who rely on it for communication and for company during commuting hours.

The PEARL membership and repeater control operators require strict compliance with the amateur code for communications. Absolutely no foul language will be tolerated, and business related discussion is not allowed. Also, as a government facility, we never make reports of police traffic monitoring activity on the air. It is our desire to maintain PEARL as a model repeater, and we count on each user to maintain the standards set forth here and established over our many years of operation in service to the community. A complete list of PEARL's repeater policies can be found >>HERE<< and can also be found in the membership package availble on this web site. Please review them carefully.
