LARC maintains two linked repeaters – one on 2m and one on 70cm, located at the Longmont Safety and Justice center.  The 2m repeater also has a microwave-connected voting receiver located on Lee Hill (whichever location, Justice Center or Lee Hill, is receiving a stronger signal will be transmitted by the repeater).
