From Tim, WB4GBI: After restoring the KM4JXA repeater to service  in May of this year, I am taking advantage of the opportunity to upgrade the software that runs the repeater to the latest Icom G3 software. The repeater was removed from service on Tuesday, October 16th. It will be upgraded at the Chattanooga Hamfest on Saturday, October 20th. Hopefully, I will return the repeater to service next week. Thank you for your patience!  73 de Tim WB4GBI  


The KM4JXA D-STAR repeater is located on Bluff Mountain (Greentop) in Sevier County, Tennessee. It shares the site with the WB4GBI 146.940, 146.850, 444.300, 927.0625, and the 440.575 DMR repeater. 

WHAT IS DSTAR?  

This article is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The KM4JXA callsign is licensed to the East Tennessee Digital Radio Group, trustee WB4GBI. Due to the necessity to have a separate callsign for the D-Star repeater, the ETDRG was formed.

The KM4JXA D-Star repeater operates on a non 600 Khz offset frequency of 147.44 receive (mobile transmit), 144.94 transmit (mobile receive). This combination of frequencies is now specifically assigned for digital repeate usage by SERA, of which KM4JXA/WB4GBI is a member. The KM4JXA repeater is also now included in database downloads from the D-Star information website, www.dstarinfo.com

Here is a photo of the KM4JXA D-Star repeater in its new home. The black cabinet in the foreground houses the repeater controller, 2 meter D-Star repeater itself, the six-cavity VHF duplexer, power supply, and the Linux-based computer server necessary for internet operation and access. The three tuned cavities for receiver filtering are to the left of the D-Star cabinet.
