[OZAPRS] Status of VK2AMW-4 ?

[Ian Mills]

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the update ...

Doing a bit of checking, I agree that AMW-4 must be having problems as it
seems it is able to digipeat positions to AMW-1 while its own positions
are not always heard .. I suspect that as I frequently see on the net
stations heard by AMW-4 however AMW-4 rarely shows ...

I think I also worked out that it may need a path of WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 to be
heard by the SATGAT ... When it is up reliably I'll check further as my
usual setting for Sydney (WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1) is heard by AMW-4 (I get my
position echoed back) however I don't appear on FINDU with that path but
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 seems to work.

On an unrelated topic, I frequently hear your ctcss packets while I drive
too and from work (Gerroa to Homebush) as I have ctcss enabled too ..
VK2US-1 seems to be working quite well, I have been able to get a position
heard each morning as I leave home and drive around the Kiama bends which
is a path length of 105.7Km according to a site I use

Hi Ian,

Just relaying some info from Peter VK1NFI who maintains that digi...

VK2AMW-4 has supported the New-N for approximately 12 months, and
certainly supports WIDE1-1.  It was tested over the weekend and again this
morning from Peter's mobile setup and is working fine.  It is also
transmitting its position, however it currently is not reliably being
heard by either VK2AMW-1 or VK1RGI-1 digipeaters, and therefore is not
being seen by any IGate.  This will hopefully be rectified in teh next
couple of days.

The planned relocation is still being discussed with current and proposed
site owners

Regards,
Geoff  VK2XJG
