On August 2, 2014, Dave Roberts, W0DR, with the help of Lee Ward, K0LW, Randy VanScoy, K0RLV, and James Adkins, KB0NHX, was able to get the repeater installed and operational. The original repeater was a Motorola MSF-5000 originally owned by Ken Brannan, N0NDP.
In January 2018, Dave decided to move the repeater to DMR digital operation on the Brandmeister network with a Motorola XPR-8400 repeater. When lightening took out the wireless Internet radio mounted to a metal rail on the back of the building (we still don’t know how it happened!), the repeater was a stand alone DMR repeater only.
In July 2019, Dave, W0DR, facing some serious health concerns, turned the repeater over to the MULEBARN amateur radio club of the Highway Patrol under callsign KM0HP. The repeater was replaced by a surplus Motorola Quantar repeater capable of analog and P25 operations and re-linked to the Central Region Intertie System (CRIS)
In January 2025, the KM0HP leadership donated the repeater site and equipment to the Nixa Amateur
Radio Club to own and maintain as part of the SMLRS.
