The repeater is a GE Master II with WACOM duplexers. There is a UHF linking radio and the controller is a Link Communications RLC-1. The VHF repeater antenna is folded dipole commercial. The UHF uses a yagi.
The Salida site has linked to the rest of the system through several locations in past years. Currently, it is linked via UHF to the Leadvill repeater.
Access to this site is via 4WD vehicle between July and September. Access in winter months has never been attempted. Should this repeater fail, it remains inoperative until summer access is available.
