The VK3RWO DMR Repeater will be offline for a few hrs while some new cabling is installed. The Wires-X repeater is unaffected.

UPDATE ON VK2RWO WIRES_X REPEATER

Some of you may have noticed that over the last few days the Wires-X repeater has been doing some quite odd things.
I have determined that this was due to the Ver 2.0 Update Yaesu released a week ago.
Ver 2.0 allows the use of IPv6 and is supposed to recognize both 1.57 and 2.0 rooms and nodes.
Unfortunately, that is not happening.
Running Ver 20 restricted connection to any 1.57 room or node regardless of it being on IPv4 or IPv6.
Hence, I have removed Ver 2.0 and reinstalled 1.57. It would appear that major rooms such as CQ-UK AMERICALINK and many others have stayed with 1.57.
When the ver 2.0 software is found to be stable and performing as it should I will upgrade to it again.
The aim is to keep the room online 24/7
The scheduler is operating correctly.
Please let me know if you encounter any issues when using the repeater

UPDATE
Repeater is back up but only connected to AUS-REPEATER-NET room at present. There may be an outage in Japan of the Wires-X servers. The scheduler is running and if it changes to Amerialink at midnight then all is well.

C4FM / Wires-X repeater is currently unavailable. Seems there may be an issue with the new version 2 software both on ipv4 and ipv6. Currently under investigation.
