Where Can You Reach the Fayetteville 700 Repeater?

Known Weak-Signal and Dead-Zone Areas
Northwest Arkansas terrain can create sharp changes in Fayetteville 700 coverage. Field testing has identified weak or unavailable coverage in some valleys and terrain-obstructed locations, including portions of the Highway 412 corridor east of Huntsville, the Hickory Creek area and Devil’s Den. These reports are based on real-world testing and should be treated as observations rather than guaranteed coverage boundaries.
