Welcome to our Home Page. The Las Vegas Repeater Association (LVRA) owns and operates VHF and UHF amateur radio repeaters throughout Southern Nevada. LVRA is registered as a non-profit corporation in the State of Nevada and prides itself in offering public service with open repeaters as well as a closed UHF system that is always available for emergency communications. Our membership is active in all aspects of amateur radio including HF operation, ATV, Packet Radio, APRS, ARRL field support and local frequency coordination. The mainstay of our club is a network of UHF repeaters that are always linked together, permitting people on one repeater to talk and be heard simultaneously on other repeaters much the way an intercom works.
The LVRA is affiliated with the High Desert Repeater Network (HDRN) which is owned by Gill St.Onge K7GIL and Jerry Brown K6JB. The HDRN links to the LVRA at Low Potosi. The HDRN provides emergency communication for San Bernardino County, and includes coverage from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
The LVRA is affiliated with the TWEMARS Repeater System which is owned by Sandy Samuels K7FY and Ken McLaughlin N7DPS. The TWEMARS system links into the HDRN at Quartzite and Onyx, and provides coverage in the Los Angeles Basin and from Los Angeles along I-15 and I-40 to Flagstaff, AZ as well as north on US 99 and I-5 to within a few miles of Fresno.
Members of any of these three organizations may use all of these closed repeaters. For a map of the combined coverage area of these three systems, click here.
