Effective July 12, changes to IRG repeater Zones have been made as part of the upgrade of equipment. Significant changes include:
- Stanley VE9NRV and Grand Lake VE9GLA are now included in the Central Zone (hard-linked with Doaktown, Miramichi and Scotch Mtn.)
- The new Fredericton UHF (442.025) is now included in the Central Zone. Fredericton VE1BM VHF (147.120) remains in EMO Zone.
- Grove Hill (Saint John) VE9STM is now included in the South West Zone (hard-linked with St. Stephen, Campobello Island, and Maces Bay)
- The DTMF link code for West Zone (Kintore Mtn, Crabbe Mtn. & Skiff Lake) has changed to 174#.
- The DTMF link code for East Zone (Moncton, Acadieville, Sackville) has changed to 164#.
- Reminder: avoid disclosing link codes on-air to avoid malicious use!)
Other than listed above, all frequencies, CTCSS tones, and DTMF link codes remain as they were. A new chart with all complete information in one place will be available soon, and and interim chart is available on the "Linking" tab (members must log in to view).
There may still be some issues with linking, as audio levels and master controller changes are still to be made. For more information about the upgrade project, visit: https://ve9irg.net/revamp
Thanks to all users for your patience as we move closer to final configuration.
