With interest in DMR after a club presentation by Chuck Kraly, K0XM, in January 2017, the club decided to install a DMR repeater at Cox Hospital when the 442.425 repeater was moved to its new home on the Christian County 911 tower in Clever.  The repeater utilized the DB408 repeater antenna that was abandoned when the 442.425 was moved to Clever

On November 9, 2023, the 443.400 went online at it’s new location and as part of the Queen City Digital Cluster!  The 55-W Motorola SLR-5700 was exchanged for a Motorola MTR-2000 set to 80-Watts fed into a 5-port transmit combiner with ~ 3 dBd of loss for a total of ~ 40-Watts output power to the Comprod TX antenna at 360’ AGL.  An 8-Port receive multicoupler with bandpass filter connects the receive antenna at 380’ AGL to the 443.400 receiver.
