Looks like our desense has returned at Virginia Peak. I have put the 147.030 repeater back in its cross band configuration. It was taking high power on a handheld to access the repeater and was mostly noise. It works well now on 100mw.
The 147.150 Mt. Rose repeater has been temporarily shut off due to malicious interference.
The 147.150 Mt. Rose repeater has been turned back on. Everything should be back to normal.
The 147.210 Peavine repeater is off the air due to a power outage that was planned by NVE for today. It appears the site generator did not start.

The Carson City DMR repeater that is hosted in Nevada DEM will be off the air for 3 months while they remodel the radio room.

The 146.610 repeater, on Ophir Peak, appears to be stuck in Transmit. This will be investigated at earliest opportunity. At this time, it is unusable.
Whatever was causing the 146.610 Ophir repeater to be stuck in transmit, appears to have resolved itself. It functioned properly during last night’s DMR net.
One of numerous power outages appears to have the 147.210 Peavine repeater down. No estimated time of restoration by NV Energy.
Whatever the issue was with Peavine seems to have resolved itself. It is back to normal this morning!
The 147.210 Peavine repeater is turned back on this morning, the interference seems to be gone. It is currently in stand alone configuration to see if the interference is going to return.
Peavine has been reconnected to the rest of the system.
With the exception of Virginia Peak being in cross band, everything is back to normal.

SNARS Linked Repeater System - UPDATES & Noon Net frequencies
Virginia Peak Repeater 147.030 + pl123.0
Because of a severe desense issue, the 147.030 repeater is currently in a cross-band configuration and does not function as a normal repeater. It is still connected to the other repeaters in the SNARS Linked Repeater System so you can communicate with other users heard coming through 147.030. NOTE: If you use the 147.030 repeater, when you unkey the mic you will not hear any repeater hang time (no beep / no squelch tale), but you will still be heard on the other repeaters. The 147.030 repeater will remain in this mode until the desense issue can be resolved.
Peavine Peak Repeater 147.210 + pl100.0
Over the last week, there have been some intermittent interference issues on the 147.210 repeater; as a result, the repeater may be offline periodically to circumvent the issues. The interference appears to be coming from an inappropriate use and attempt to cross-band to the 147.210 repeater.
SNARS Noon Net frequencies
If the SNARS Linked Repeater systems is down, then use the official backup repeater frequency 147.390 + pl100.0 for the Noon Net. If you don't hear the noon net NCO (net control operator) on the SNARS Linked Repeater systems, then go to 147.390 + pl100.0 repeater that seems to have mostly good coverage in the greater Reno/Sparks basin

For those DMR users, the Eagle Ridge repeater is down due to a network interface issue with the radio. This radio is a Motorola SLR5700, we’ll get it back on the air as soon as possible.
