The K4AMG Repeater now supports digital operations. The repeater has been updated to a Yaesu DR-1. This repeater was developed for use with System Fusion. The repeater supports conventional FM modulation and 12.5 kHz C4FM Digital. AMS (Automatic Mode Select) function automatically recognizes the signal as C4FM digital or conventional FM, and then the DR-1 repeater retransmits the signal using the preset communications mode. The repeater continues to transmit from the WFOS, FM 88.7 MHz FM, tower in Chesapeake, VA. The station supports the Chesapeake, VA area including parts of Suffolk, VA and down into north eastern North Carolina.
The repeater serves the club as a training station for the club’s supported youth and the youth clubs. It is a place for young hams to gather and hone their on-air and net control skills. We encourage hams of all ages to respond to the new hams when you hear them on the air and mentor them in the proper etiquette expected by the Amateur Radio community.

W4GBH Get-On-The-Air Youth Net
The W4GBH Get-On-The-Air Youth net is a function of the W4GBH High School Amateur Radio Club. The net meets Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 P.M. on the K4AMG Repeater. The focus of this net is to provide licensed amateur youth who received their first radio through the support of the K4AMG Memorial Amateur Radio club with on-air practice, general training in net control operations, and to share experiences amateur radio related or otherwise. Net controllers currently come from the radio club and our K4AMG youth in Virginia Beach. However, any youth 18 years old or younger and wanting to gain on-the-air knowledge in net control procedures are welcomed.
This is a learning net. We do encourage Elmer's to join in and add their knowledge and experience. It is a learning net for everyone. The youth are learning net control operations and the Elmer's are learning more about dragons than they ever wanted to know. Do you think that I am kidding? Check it out.
