I will comment at the end. Thanks for responding. Larry, W0AIN /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Kansas repeaters on backup power and easy to find, but Missouri's are going to have to respond individually. Thanks to Joe Kraut and Scott for their responses. ==================== Larry, Go to <http://www.ksrepeater.com> and select RPT Directory. Repeaters can be sorted a number of ways. Such as Area, City, and Emergency Power. The small 'e' in the notes indicates that the sponsor has reported that repeater as having backup power. There is also an <http://www.missourirepeater.org> site, but their database is down for updates. The Kansas site includes the KC Metro area. This information is also available in the ARRL Repeater Handbook. Brian Short, KC0BS, is the Kansas coordinator. Joe Krout, W0PWJ <jkrout@xxxxxxxxx> ==================== Larry- The Raytown VHF Repeater (145.170) has an automatic battery rollover. This is indicated by an extra beep accompanied by the courtesy tone on each transmission. Far as I know we haven't ever run a test to see how long the machine will operate with activity on battery power. Sounds like a good idea to test that out! -Scott Yeager, KD0FRT ==================== Larry, My repeater (442.350+ 107.2 PL) in Leavenworth is on has emergency power. It's also part of a 5 repeater network throughout northwest MO Eric Cook (N0MIJ) <n0mij@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ==================== Larry, both W0WJB repeaters have emergency power capabilities. 146.970- 443.450+ MotoTRBO Digital system. 73, Bill Brunkhardt, W0WJB <wjb@xxxxxxxxx> ==================== Larry, Three of the Independence MO repeaters have emergency power. 147.090 battery backup in downtown 145.310 located at city EOC with gen backup 145.370 located at city hospital with gen backup John Watkins, N0EVH <n0evh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ==================== Larry, The following Johnson County repeaters have emergency power: 145.290 443.725 145.210 223.940 Bill Brinker, WA0CBW <William474@xxxxxxx> ==================== Larry, The complete list of repeaters in Kansas and Missouri with emergency power can be found in the ARRL Repeater Directory.

I got swamped, I cannot take any more! Thanks, to all who have responded! This WAS an interesting experiment and thanks to the relatively new ham who asked me to do this. Caution, an expert in these things, says to not bet that the Repeater Handbook listings are correct. BOTTOM LINE: It seems that 99% of the repeaters do have emergency, backup, power. 73 and stay healthy! Larry Staples.
