Coverage in Christian County
RepeaterBook lists an estimated 20-mile coverage radius for Ozark 675. This places Ozark and Nixa within its primary service area and may provide coverage toward southern Springfield and nearby southwest Missouri communities when terrain and operating conditions are favorable.
A published radius is only an estimate. UHF signals can be weakened by hills, valleys, dense buildings, vegetation and terrain-shadowed roads. Mobile radios with properly installed external antennas will often perform differently from handheld radios used inside vehicles or buildings.
Operators should perform radio checks from their usual travel routes and locations before depending on the repeater. Coverage should never be assumed solely from distance.
Programming Ozark 675
Program 462.675 MHz as the receive frequency and 467.675 MHz as the transmit frequency. Use a positive 5.000 MHz offset and a 162.2 Hz transmit tone. Some radios automatically calculate the transmit frequency after the repeater channel and offset are selected.

Courteous and Responsible Operation
Keep transmissions clear and reasonably brief so other operators have an opportunity to use the channel. Allow a pause between conversations, avoid unnecessary interference and yield immediately to emergency traffic.
When requesting urgent assistance, state your call sign, location and the type of help needed. GMRS does not replace 911, public-safety radio systems or professional emergency services. Operators should review the official FCC GMRS information for current licensing and operating requirements.
