The Hermiston Amatuer Radio Club purchased, received, and installed two new Yaesu DR-1X repeaters in 2016. Both are on the air at the Silusi Butte site. The first was set up as UHF on 443.750+ PL Tone 103.5 Hz and is running at 20 watts. The second replaced the old GE Master II 147.02 machine and also uses a 103.5 Hz tone.
