About

About Austin Repeater

An independent, enthusiast's field guide to amateur (ham) radio in the Austin, Texas area — the repeater scene, getting licensed, the clubs and nets, and emergency communications across Central Texas.

What this site is

Austin Repeater is written for the person who keeps hearing that ham radio is worth getting into and wants a straight, friendly place to start — and for the licensed operator new to town who needs the lay of the local band. We explain the hobby in plain language and point you at the people who maintain the live data, rather than pretending to be a database ourselves.

What it is not

This is not a coordinated frequency list, and it is not a ranking of anything. Repeaters retune and go offline; the authoritative, up-to-date listings for the region are kept by RepeaterBook and the Texas VHF-FM Society, and that is where we send you for current details. What we add is context, encouragement, and a map of where to go next.

Who publishes it

Austin Repeater is part of the WholeTech Network, an independent Austin, Texas publisher that has been building websites since 1996, starting with the spring.com BBS — one of the city's first online communities. Every site in the network focuses on a single subject and is built Agents First: readable and usable by people and AI agents alike.

Corrections

Frequencies, offsets and tones on this site are kept as we verify them, but the band changes. If something here is out of date, tell us: info@austinrepeater.com.
