DB0COE back on air – backup repeater in operation

DB0COE has been QRV again on 145.750 MHz since late this afternoon. During a test run from a battery, the interference disappeared. We therefore suspect a fault in the repeater’s power supply, most likely in the mains interference suppression (for example a suppression capacitor).

Until the main repeater is repaired, our backup repeater is on air: two Motorola mobile radios linked by a repeater controller. You open it with 1750 Hz as usual. As it runs at slightly lower power, the signal strength at your location may be a little lower. After the repair, the main repeater is due to return with CTCSS and a roger beep. Thank you for your patience, and vy 73!

DB0COE going off air temporarily – interference on the input

There’s currently strong interference on the input of DB0COE (145.150 MHz). Because of this, the squelch doesn’t close properly and there’s heavy noise on the output (145.750 MHz). To keep that off the air, we’ll be switching the repeater off temporarily as soon as possible.

We’re already working on a fix and will let you know here and via the newsletter as soon as DB0COE is back on the air. Thanks for your understanding, and vy 73!

5 November 2026 QRV – maintenance completed |

Hello everyone,

the maintenance and upgrade work at the site is complete: DB0COE is QRV again on 145.750 MHz (input 145.150 MHz). Thank you for your patience!

Now we need your help: we'd like to know how the repeater is reaching you after the work. Please submit a short reception report. Your callsign, location (locator or a click on the map) and signal report are enough. "Not audible" helps us too. If you add your radio, antenna and antenna height, we can assess the results even better.

If you notice anything unusual (dropouts, noise, whistling, difficulty opening the repeater), please let us know via the fault report form.

Thank you, and vy 73!
Your DB0COE team

04/11/2026 MAINTENANCE Repeater 145.750 MHz DB0COE

Om DB0COE ook op lange termijn betrouwbaar te laten werken, voeren we momenteel onderhouds- en verbouwingswerkzaamheden uit op de locatie. Daarbij controleren we de techniek en moderniseren we waar nodig.

Tijdens de werkzaamheden is de repeater op 145,750 MHz tijdelijk niet bereikbaar. Dit kan enkele dagen duren. ATV valt hier niet onder en werkt gewoon door. Zodra DB0COE weer QRV is, laten we het hier en via de nieuwsbrief weten.

Bedankt voor je begrip en vy 73!
