We provide our members with many opportunities to increase knowledge and enjoyment of amateur radio through fun, fellowship and unique learning experiences.

The Richardson Wireless Club operates six UHF/VHF wide coverage repeaters in the North Texas area. These repeaters are open for use by any licensed amateur radio operator. Modes presently supported are FM analog, Allstar Link, C4FM Digital, WIRES-X, and DMR (DMR-MARC).
