GB3OA – Partial restoration

Leave a Comment / GB3OA / By

It appears the Wires-X PC had withdrawn service.

When an HRI-200 is physically connected to the repeater, the repeater has to be switched into a different mode. What had happened was the PC was not booting, this prevented the repeater from working. This only happens when the repeater is booted from cold, but unfortunately a power cycle on site caused the whole set up to hang.

We’ve put the repeater back into basic mode with the result that it’s now fine but obviously it’s working without any linking.

A new PC will be sourced in due course.

UPDATE 13th March 2024 – It appears the PC we thought had died has an intermittent fault. For now at least, it appears to be working again. It’s now back in service but for how long, who knows. In the meantime we’re looking to source a better spec PC than the spare we have so it can be replaced with something a little more robust.

The Windows PC that supports cross linking between the Wires-X room and YSF reflector is down. Spare hardware is available but needs configuring.

Work will start on this today.

73, the GB3OA team.
