145.160 D-Star
	The 145.160 D-Star repeater is located on the Prudential tower in Boston. It is owned by Bob Stone, N1KMA, of West Newfield, ME. It is at an MMRA location under an arrangement where MMRA is the sponsor of the repeater and the system runs under the MMRA's W1MRA callsign. If you have a D-Star radio, set your RX frequency to 145.160 with a -600 KHz offset, set the RPT1 callsign to "W1MRA C" (two spaces before the C). In the future, this will repeater will have a D-STAR gateway. To be ready for that day, set your RPT2 callsign to W1MRA G" (two spaces before the G). Currently, this will have no effect. When the gateway is installed you will be all set to use it. Like all current D-Star repeaters, the system is an Icom ID-RP2000V and ID-RP2C units. The TX power is 25W. The repeater was originally installed at the MMRA's MRE location on September 15, 2008. It was moved to the Pru on September 26, 2009.
