Note: While you are waiting for your call sign suffix to be called, you may want to use the Reverse button on your radio occasionally to check to see if there are operators near you who are not reaching the repeater. If you hear someone trying to check in while you are on reverse but don’t hear them without reverse, they are not reaching the repeater. You have the option of offering a relay by using the proword “Relay”. ''Be sure and turn off the reverse feature before doing so.'' | Note: While you are waiting for your call sign suffix to be called, you may want to use the Reverse button on your radio occasionally to check to see if there are operators near you who are not reaching the repeater.

This repeater is also known as MC-2 as it is included as channel 2 in the [https://multnomahares.org/resources/frequency-lists-and-radio-programming-templates/ Multnomah County ARES (MCARES) frequency templates]. If the repeater does not appear to be working, you would switch to simplex using 147.280 MHz, which is channel 12 in the MCARES templates and known as MC-12. | ||
