Vk5 digital atv repeater now going (from vklogger) I hadnt spotted any other mention of it here so I thought I would cross post this from the Mid North Radio & Electronics Group website. This is the first (to my knowledge) DVB-T repeater in SA. Latest News: 08-06-2014 Port Piries A.T.V. Repeater Online The A.T.V. repeater VK5RDC is now online and running. Thanks to the time effete and money from VK5DMC David. Thank you David for all your hardWORK The up-link is on 1275 MHz for analogue and digital. For the Digital up-link you need to set the transmission to 1275.0 MHz with a symbolrate to 5,000 and the code rate (FEC) to ¾ The repeater can be turned on and off remotely as well as changing the inputs from Analogue to digital using D.T.M.F. tones in the 2 Meter Band. There is also a Raspberry Pie computer connected to the repeater to turn it on and off if for any reason the D.T.M.F. tones do not work which David can control from his Home Base. The Down-link for the repeater is on 446.5Mhz in SD digital which most newer t.v.s and set-top boxes can get, but not all can pick-up however you would need to do a manual scan. If your set-top box allows you to do a scan by frequency and input the frequency there is a good chance it will pick up the signal from the A.T.V. The A.T.V. is not running all the time. For Activation tones so that you can send a signal up to the A.T.V. please contact VK5DMC David and remember you need a full Amateur Licence to send ATV
