Notes

• Please report suspected repeater problems to the trustee.

• ARPSC devotes considerable time and resources to ensure that the W4AVA repeater system satisfies the highest technical standards and best practices. On several occasions, after receiving complaints of interference, ARPSC has conducted extensive evaluations of W4AVA repeater system equipment only to find that the complaining party's equipment was at fault and/or its troubleshooting procedures were grossly deficient. Therefore, ARPSC will consider investigating suspected inter-repeater interference issues only upon receiving from the trustee of the affected repeater(s): (1) a written, detailed report of the suspected interference; and (2) a recent (3 business days) written technical evaluation and assessment completed by a qualified professional RF engineer that includes a description of the tests and equipment employed in the assessment, and clearly demonstrating that (a) the affected repeater and all ancillary components satisfy FCC technical requirements and best practices; and (b) the trustee of the affected repeater has employed all reasonably prudent means of mitigating interference.
