Eliminating RF Feedback Problem
ZR5S, ZS5RT, ZS5S, ZR5BR, ZS5SK and ZS5ML travelled up to our Richmond repeater to separate the antennas, hoping to eliminate the RF feedback problem at this repeater. Shaun (ZR5S) and Terry climbed the tower and raised the top antenna to the top, after the “ground crew” fitted a new longer cable with new connectors to the top antenna. We also changed the connector on the lower tx antenna.
It looked like the problem was solved and it looks like we were receiving the repeater signal better on the way back to Pmb. Later, however, the interference returned. The next plan of action will be to tighten the squelch settings.
