We continue to work through upgrades and reconfiguration of repeaters.

Status – 8/20/25

• Due to changes at UW the “76” repeater will be offline for a while.
  • We have corrected some issues that were reported a while ago during a fire department inspection and roof work under the antenna has been completed and a new air conditioned room and racks are ready for installation
  • A new lightning arrestor has been purchased and needs to be installed
  • When this repeater comes back online we plan to have Wires-X working here rather than on the “15”
• The “15” repeater is reconfigured and responding well.
  • The power supply needs repair (or replacement) and we are working on that. Currently a loaner power supply appears to working well. The repeater is reporting the correct time now.
  • Wires-X will no longer be available at this repeater. We hope to replace it with a different digital capability (such as AllStar) which is not as intrusive as Wires-x.

A new Air-conditioned room has been built and antennas have been relocated at the UW site where the 76 repeater is sited. We have ordered a new lightening arrestor and are re-racking and cleaning the equipment. We expect to have this repeater back in service later this month. Most of this work is in response to a fire department audit some time ago that required relocating communications equipment in that hospital location. When all is said and done it will provide a much better and secure environment for our equipment.
