BCARS Repeaters
The Bedford County Amateur Radio Society currently maintains five repeaters in Bedford (3) and Chaneysville (2). You can listen to our repeater network through Broadcastify 39504.
We also maintain a local frequency list, useful for programming radios.

440 Mixed Analog/DMR Notes
During normal operation, talkgroup 3192899 is linked to the other analog repeaters via Allstar. It will appear as Allstar Node 533175. However, we may unlink the DMR/Allstar bridge if use of the analog is desired, or if we otherwise want to make the 440 less “busy”.
Because the 440 machine transmits DMR, you MUST put a CTCSS/PL tone on your radio’s receive of 123Hz. This will keep you from having to listen to the DMR digital NOISE.
