VK3RGV IRLP Repeater Down

[VK3YNV]

Sometime after 2:10AM last night the VK3RGV UHF repeater IRLP stopped working, the IRLP node is still working and connected to the network but the RF side is not responding. Not sure what the problem is, but I recall a similar event a few years back where the fuse for the receiver had blown. So that might be the fault this time as well. I will update this post when more information becomes available.

System is now back on line after remotely cycling the power. "Didja try turning it off and on" comes to the rescue. I suspect the problem was a hiccup in the VK5DJ repeater controller. Everything working normally.

The VK5DJ controller on the 5 mHz split IRLP repeater has been doing some strange things, so I've powered the repeater down, until we can get on-site and do some trouble shooting. It seems to hang on transmit after an ident, but not always.

The VK3RGV UHF repeater 5 mHz split is acting up again, and is currently powered down. All indications are it's a fault on the PTT output from the VK5DJ controller.

I'll let it settle down and try powering up again later.
