LIPD interference forces repeater move

VK5RSB 70cm repeater operated by AREG at Summertown in Adelaide is having to move frequency due to LIPD interference.

The current frequency is TX 438.125MHz -5MHz input offset.

The frequency the repeater is to relocate to is
TX 439.900MHz
RX 434.900MHz

Or the other way of putting it is, the repeater output is 439.900MHz with the standard -5MHz input offset.

IRLP node 6214 operated by VK5ZSN will also be changing frequency in line with VK5RSB 70cm change, however there may be a delay in the node changing by a day or two, so please be patient.

AREG apologies for any inconvenienced this may cause, however the LIPD interference the repeater was receiving cause great trouble except for very strong signals. Hand held access was difficult at best to unusable at worst.

AREG hope to soon have available on our web site an updated Philips FM92 and Syntrx EPROM images. More details about this when the images are ready for release.
