I have a reference to a Mt Hood repeater near the Portland, Oregon area. I am showing 147.120 with no tone, but a two second delay. Can anyone advise if the repeater is still active and if the information is correct. I am in the PDX area and haven't been able to use or key it.

Many thanks,

From the 'two second delay', it sounds like a simplex store-and-retransmit system.

Once upon a time it was a traditional conventional repeater with SMOKIN coverage

But what happened to it? Is it down for repairs, changed hands or just gone?

I checked the 2013-2014 ARRL repeater directory and couldn't find it as well as the Intercepi database also with negative
Thank you for any help,

There are a few in the Portland area that have limited or no controller function, so no tail. I have heard it in use recently when I've been down there. There are a couple of 900 repeaters that do the same thing, no repeater tail. crazy.

The Mt Hood repeater on 712 is still alive and kicking, but ARRG is trying to assess an issue on it right now and advises people to instead try to use its sister repeater on UHF also on Mt Hood.

Thank you. I don't get down there often so all of the responses will be of great help.

No problem! I'm a regular user of that repeater and know its quirks. www.arrg.org is the team who runs that repeater and they like questions!
