From 2200 hours 28.03.11 the GRN will be out of service until 0000 hours. No communicate will be available according to the information I have.

This should be interesting.

hi all, just watching pro96.com the system rebooted at 2203hrs as a radio connected to D304 came back up and the identifier (ie base settings) came up at the same time.
however looking at the peers list some are connected some arnt some stale some good.
I wouldnt say all south coast are Andrew Camberwarra and jerrawangala are showing as failed.
cheers
Matt

Seems the sites are working in a "failsoft" mode - on GPT some units are still talking to each other just fine.

Yes, I just checked the peer lists and you are correct Matt, everything south of Batemans Bay is still online along with all the Canberra sites but the rest appear to be offline?

Ambos are using their PMR channels. So far have heard activity on the Glenbrook, POW, Concord and Wahroonga repeaters.
