Just wondering if anyone else has noticed an outage of the repeater.

I haven't pick up anything on it since at least Tuesday afternoon.

Apparently there might be issues with turnout gear?....

I'll look on OzFire forums because there was a post about it and a QAS Comms guy responded with the issue...

Here is the post from Ozfire..




Anyone know why QFRS Eatons Hill 53 Repeator is down and dead as for a few days

Freq is 467.3250 mhz ,Checked with AMFA database and still listed so freq has changed also the low power turnout freq 461.xxxxx still opens every know and then but no audio. Ocassionly here some firecom audio but so low unable to hear.


Standard for upgrades etc, They have been having issues with Stn Turnout equiptment as wellso no real surprise. Pain in the backside when scanning but doesnt effect QFRS so much.

The repeaters for normal traffic and that for turnouts are separate systems. Unless it was something common like a power supply, an outage on one would have no affect on the other.

Unfortunately I think it's down again. As well as the north-side turnout frequency.
