About the Winslow 675 GMRS Repeater
Owned by WRBK701 and sponsored by the Arkansas GMRS Repeater Group, the system uses a 50-watt commercial repeater connected to an antenna mounted approximately 250 feet above the site. The elevated installation helps provide regional coverage across the steep and heavily wooded terrain of southern Washington County.
The Winslow 675 GMRS repeater is an open, on-air communications resource serving Winslow, Brentwood and surrounding portions of the Northwest Arkansas Ozarks and operates on 462.675 MHz.

Winslow and Northwest Arkansas Coverage
The official operator reports coverage into Fayetteville, southern Washington County, northern Crawford County and portions of Benton County. RepeaterBook lists an estimated coverage radius of approximately 40 miles, but this should be treated as a general estimate rather than guaranteed coverage.
The Winslow 675 GMRS repeater may be useful to licensed operators traveling through Winslow, West Fork, Brentwood and surrounding rural communities. It can also provide an additional communications option for campers, hikers, off-road groups and other outdoor users visiting the southern Washington County Ozarks.
Devil’s Den State Park is located within the broader Winslow area. However, its deep valleys, rock formations, dense forest and surrounding ridges can block or weaken UHF signals. Users should not assume that the repeater will be reachable from every trail, campsite or low-lying section of the park. Test your radio from several locations and maintain another method of communication when entering remote areas.

Weather Alerts and Outdoor Communication
The Winslow system includes Skywarn Plus automatic weather notifications when significant weather is active. These alerts may provide useful awareness, but they should supplement—not replace—official National Weather Service warnings, local emergency notifications or a weather radio.
Terrain, antenna height, radio power, buildings and vegetation can all affect coverage. A properly installed mobile radio and exterior antenna will generally provide better performance than a handheld radio used inside a vehicle or building.
Responsible Repeater Operation
Listen before transmitting, keep conversations courteous and identify with your FCC-issued GMRS call sign. Allow brief pauses between transmissions so other operators can join the conversation or report priority traffic.
Yield immediately to emergency communications. Clearly state your call sign, location and the assistance needed. GMRS does not replace 911 or official public-safety communications.
