August 15, 2020 : Significant changes were made to the repeater site, as all of our equipment was moved over to the new repeater shack. All machines (repeaters, computers, mesh nodes, etc) are functioning as before with the exception of the UHF D-Star “B” module. A receive signal poor reception problem had been noted, and will require investigation. This repeater has been turned off for the time being. Once repairs/adjustments are made, we will re-activate this Module.

We have upgraded our VE7RCK D-Star Gateway to ICOM G3 Gateway software. This will allow users of the ID51A PLUS 2 HT and the ID-4100A mobile to utilize the new Access Point and Terminal modes.

The Chilliwack Amateur Radio Club is pleased to announce the arrival of the New Communications Trailer!  Its not equipped at this point but with the hard work of members and donations this will be a real cool unit!  Need counters, shelves, batteries, 6 mobile antenna, decaling, roof mount A/C, to mention a few things.
