Please Note! UPDATE!

The SGA-575 repeater was experiencing noise issues due to equipment failure with the duplexer (a frequency tuned filter that allows the repeater to transmit and receive at the same time on the same antenna).

A new duplexer has been located and it has been configured and installed.

The volunteer technical team has resolved the issue. 

Thanks,
