Kevin (KO4VDK) has developed the first, low-cost, stand-alone, listening node for the Reverse Ranger program.

This will be one of many listening nodes throughout the footprint of the CARC radio repeaters.

The nodes will listen to the input frequencies of CARC repeaters and upload geocoded, timestamped, recordings to a collective (online) repository.

This data will enable the Reverse Ranger program to identify the general location of any transmission into the CARC repeater systems.

Final testing should begin later this week, with plans of future units being made available to Rangers at a very low cost.

For more information about becoming a Reverse Ranger or reporting QRM, send inquiries here.
