The IRG is unique in the PNWDigital network in that they have been with us on the DCI group for years. When the DCI c-Bridge moved from San Diego to join PNWDigital as our third c-Bridge, IRG came along with the move. Many of the PNWD members lived or were stationed in SoCal at one time or another and we desired to continue that connection.

Welcome.  Just a few things of interest specific to Inland Repeater Group that you will want to be aware of.  All three repeaters are Open.  They do carry some key PNWDigital Talkgroups, as well as their usual CA regional and State Talkgroups. See the Talkgroup viewer for more details.
