Latest News:
DUNN PEAK 147.380 repeater - Working mostly
A trip was made to the Dunn Peak repeater on Saturday 2nd of August by KG7RDR, KA7OEI, and KG7AZY.
It was found that the VHF radio had been scrambled, most likely from lightning. Also the upper loop of the VHF array was twisted horizontally due to an installation problem at some point during maintenance performed by other parties on the mountain. The repeater was reprogrammed and tested with its firmware behaving normally after reflashing and the antenna was put vertical again.
Unfortunately not everything could go smoothly. The antennas are a phased array and upon reviewing photos back in the valley we have realized the upper antenna was installed 180 degrees out of phase resulting in an odd antenna pattern and poor coverage . This will be corrected at a later date.
We also installed proper protections on the solar and battery inputs along with RFI mitigation to make the site safe.
