Warships are always hard to listen to. They routinely encrypt their comms, and they output so much RF (Radar etc) that it simply swamps most receivers.

Gday Gav , Im running a repeater station for work purposes and all this week we have been getting peppered by signals and interference that we have never heard before. Its giving the repeater itself hell as its clicking TX and RX relays constantly and sending out bits of voice comms at us. Do you think there is any chance this is due to the Warships and all the juice they are pumping out?? Or should i call the techie?...it sorta sounds like a power short too....maybe a loose whatsit...dunno... any thoughts?

Hmm. Depends on the frequency and where the repeater is. Could be interference, but then again it could just be interference (mixing etc from other repeaters) or a faulty repeater controller. Does it have CTCSS on its input?

Yes CTCSS on the input Gav and it has always been dead quiet with no interference until this week. It also has a digital line into my Pent 4, could be another source.? Im not sure.
Interestingly... it hasnt done it all afternoon. Thanks for those clues though mate...given me something to think about

Does anyone know what US air craft carrier arrived here? I saw one at sea a few weeks back in Gage roads.
