Further Information about repeaters

The information on this page change often and other sources of information are:

International Repeater Group

The International Repeater Group maintains a system of about two dozen repeaters in the province of New Brunswick.  There are many functions, but with a small handheld mobile radio, also called a handheld terminal (HT), one can link all the repeaters together and the message spoken into the HT will be broadcast all over the province, in all major cities and communities.

Local Digital Mobile Radio (DMR)

UNB and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering generously provided the antenna site, power and internet access for a DMR repeater on the roof of McLeod House.  All of the setup, equipment and maintenance costs were provided by the community of amateur radio operators in New Brunswick. On Tuesday, August 27, 2013, the VHF 147.165+ VE9FTN DMR Repeater on McLeod House became operational. On Monday, October 16, 2023, the repeater was shutdown because the planned demolition of McLeod House. In 2013, the VE9FTN DMR repeater in New Brunswick was the most easterly DMR repeater in North America, but DMR is growing in New Brunswick and there are now repeaters in Moncton and Saint John and more being planned. A new site is being considered. Further information about DMR in New Brunswick is available at the DMR-MARC repeater map. A UNB alumnus, Don Trynor, VA3XPR, maintains a DMR repeater in Toronto; see Don Trynor's VA3XPR website. The talk groups of the VE9FTN repeater were:
