 The most popular and heavily used club system is the 440 FM analog repeater on 442.725 MHz with a +5 MHz offset and requiring a 114.8 PL tone. Not only is this repeater used for the club's Thursday night nets, but it is also the back up repeater for the Northern Cook County Skywarn weather net. It is a current Motorola model located near Foster and Sheridan on the far north side of Chicago. it runs about 35 watts out to a 4-element "offset pattern" antenna at 500+ feet. Offset pattern means that more of the repeater's RF energy is radiated over land than out over Lake Michigan. Co-located at this site is the club's "stack" of D-Star repeaters covering the the 70cm and 23cm bands. The D-Star 70cm repeater, NS9RC-B, is on 442.09375 MHz with a +5 MHz offset. This repeater runs 25 watts out to another 4-element offset pattern antenna. The D-Star 23cm repeater, NS9RC-A, is on 1292.200 MHz with a -20 MHz offset. This repeater runs 10 watts out to an omnidirectional antenna. Also located at this site are the club's Winlink RMS node station on 145.610 MHz and an AREDN mesh network node, both with internet access.
-A few months ago the club's 2M and 220 MHz repeaters were located at the Allstate Insurance building near I-294 and Palatine Road. That building was sold and the club was required to relocate these repeaters which was recently completed. The 2M repeater was relocated to a 260 foot tower near Edens Expressway and Willow Road in Northfield. This is a dual mode Yaesu System Fusion and FM analog repeater on 147.345 MHz with a +600 KHz offset and requiring a PL tone of 107.2. It runs 20 watts out to an omnidirectional antenna at the top of the tower and is the primary Northern Cook County Skywarn repeater system during severe weather periods. The 220 MHz repeater is now located in south east Deerfield on a 190 foot water tank. It is an FM analog Broadcom unit on 224.320 MHz with a -1.6 MHz offset requiring a 110.9 PL tone. The club encourages use of this repeater to get more activity on the 220 MHz band.

 For many years the NSRC has supported area APRS activity by operating two APRS digipeaters on 144.390 MHz, NS9RC and NS9RC-5. The flagship digipeater, NS9RC, is located on Waukegan Road near Winnetka Avenue in Northfield. It is at 45 feet and covers the north shore and the city's far north side. The second digipeater, NS9RC-5, is located north of downtown Highland Park at 25 feet and fills in a known dead zone in that area.
