The repeater requires a 100 Hz PL to access and is passed on the COS.
This will allow for cross band repeat and so will the short squelch tail.

S- Meter ( * 3 2 ) Time ( 5 6 ) Time and Temp ( * 4 5 6 ) If a
Amateur does not have PL tone encode on their transceiver he or she can
enter

The Repeater is planned to be linked in the Summer to the K4JDR 444.150+
100 PL proposed repeater outside of Clayton. coverage will extend to
Goldsboro when traveling on Hwy 70, This site has a 2 meter Remote Base.
The 444.150+ Seven Springs repeater is off the air due to a direct
Lightning strike and a new proposed Frequency will be issued. The future
plans are to link Seven Springs with Clayton UHF. Also on the table is
to link the Kinston 444.575+ repeater in with Seven Springs or Clayton
UHF.
Experimentation on other linking possibilities will take place and it is
subject to change. The 147.390+ 88.5 PL in Clayton may also be looked
at.
The Cary Repeater has a UHF Remote Base and will be linked to Middlesex
NE4J 444.650+179.9 on demand sometime this Summer. This will also be
changeable to other UHF Repeaters if the need arises for emergencies
such as Skywarn.
Anyone wishing to use the Private features of the repeater are asked to
contribute a min. of $15.00 per year to go to the telephone interconnect
fund and will be given Two auto-dial slots with a Private code list.
Any local clubs are welcome to use the repeater at special events located
in Cary even if they want to use it partially to eliminate radio traffic
on a primary Simplex or another Repeater.
