Confirmation of various timeouts on GB3OA

To avoid confusion, the relevant web pages (Repeater Details and Internet Linking) have been changed to specify the various timeouts on OA.

They are:

  • RF to RF – five minutes (the errant PTT has to be opened to reset the timer)
  • IRLP and Echolink – four minutes, and disconnection of the distant end

Echolink will also specify an error code if the txm is more than four minutes – a link to all OA error codes can be found on the Internet Linking page.

THE STREAM: this is now fully up to spec again and running normally. It can easily be listened to throughout the world by going to http://shoutcast.com and searching for GB3OA.

Node 5302 short outage

The repeater’s internet linking Node (5302) went offline last night (7th October) due to a failed Operating System upgrade.

We’re pleased to report the fault has been fixed and everything is now running normally.

In addition, it was noticed that the Node’s timeout had been accidentally set too short. This has also been corrected. The timeout is now back to the default setting of four minutes.
