The Public Information Pack (which can be downloaded from this page) contains more information about CTCSS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The network does not provide coverage across the whole of the Falkland Islands. The coverage maps presented in this document are our best estimates of the&nbsp;<strong><em>predicted<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;levels of coverage that people could expect to get at various locations and are based on proximity to the repeater stations. The quality of the communications will, to some extent, be dependent upon the quality of the VHF radio equipment being used to access the network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The frequency information for the repeater stations is given below and it is suggested that, if possible, people program their radios with all the frequencies as testing has shown that it is possible to open and obtain good communications from other repeaters although not shown on the predicted maps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Site<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>RX (MHz)<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>TX (MHz)<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>CTCSS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sapper South<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">146.0<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">146.0<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">71.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sapper North<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">146.250<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">146.250<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">67.0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">MPP<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.120<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.720<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">156.7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Mt Kent<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.030<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.630<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">131.8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sussex Mountain<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.150<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.750<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">110.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wreck Gate<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.060<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.660<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">173.8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Green Hill<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.090<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.690<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">94.8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Cooke Hill<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.600<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">71.9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Mt Alice<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.180<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">147.780<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">189.9<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The network is physically split into two chains, a North Falklands route (Sapper Hill, Mt Kent, Sussex Mountain, Green Hill, Cook Hill) and a South Falklands route (Sapper Hill, Mount Pleasant, Wreck Gate, and Mt Alice).
