Repeaters (Don Tolson) — Dec. 2024 — all parts of the VE7RPQ repeater system seem to be operating normally. The DMR repeater is still being worked on, as it needs a new code plug (programming) and we do not have the passcode necessary to remove the old one. Echolink has been restored! Thanks to the generosity of Kelly VA7KGW, the Echolink node is now hosted 24×7 at his site and renamed as VE7RPQ-R. From all reports, it is working very well. We hope to upgrade the radio to one which will take advantage of the UHF link to the repeater. I’ve have sent an email to the folks in charge of the Island Trunk System regarding the possibility of integrating VE7SYD into the network and at this time, ITS is not looking to make any changes/additions to the system. We are looking into the possibility of adding a 6m FM remote base to the VE7RPQ network. This will most likely occur in the Spring of 2025.
