DMRVA

Wallops repeater is back online

The Wallops Island repeater is reconnected to the network. Thanks to Bryan, N0BES for the details.

Thanks to the Alexandria Radio Club

We are pleased to accept support for the DMRVA network from the Alexandria Radio Club for the second year in a row. The club operates the Alexandria repeater which is on the network. This gracious support helps offset the personal costs of network operation, which include website hosting, c-bridge operational costs as well as cellular internet at other repeater sites. It was great to network with users of the system and learn about their experience while visiting the Frostfest. Please visit their website at the link above.

New CS codeplugs are here

New codeplugs for the CS800 and CS800D have been posted on the downloads page. Please see the codeplug change log for details. More updates will be made in the near future. Thanks to WB4EOT.

A DMR repeater for Powhatan county will be coming on line in the near future. Many have asked us about the status there. An official announcement will be made here once the system is online. We look forward to this enhancement in coverage between C’ville and Richmond and addition to the network.

Washington DC and Wallops Repeater status update

The Washington DC repeater network connection has been restored and is back on line. The Wallops repeater is offline and we hope to post an update soon on the status.

Roanoke Repeater Restored

The Roanoke W5CUI repeater has been restored. Thank you for your patience.

Maintenance Event

The evening of January 3rd to early morning of January 4th one of our servers will be physically moved. You may experience a disruption of network service during this time period (Approx. 11pm – 5am) but repeaters should remain available for local usage.

Washington DC and Roanoke Repeaters off network

The Washington DC repeater (W3AGB) is off the network – unknown restoration time (expected to be prolonged).

The Roanoke repeater (W5CUI) is off network (and off air) due to damage to the antenna system. Repairs are being arranged, please watch the website for updates.

Network Issues

Update: Functionality appears to be restored. We will post further updates if warranted.

One of our hosting providers is experiencing an unplanned downtime. They are in the process of troubleshooting the issue with on-site staff. We will post a notification when more information becomes available.

Special Olympics coming up

Operators supporting the Special Olympics in the Richmond area will be using Timeslot 1 on the Richmond and Petersburg repeaters during the days of June 7– 10th. All traffic on Richmond Local (TG 27500, TS1) will be managed by Special Olympics Net Control during this time.

Accordingly, all Talkgroups on Timeslot 1 will be unavailable for general amateur use during the duration of the Special Olympics nets. Please QRX but feel free to use VA Statewide (3151) and PRN (2) on Timeslot 2 as per usual.

Again, this only affects the Richmond and Petersburg machines. All other machines on the DMRVA network will be unaffected.

Thank you for your understanding during this important event.
