We have conducted tests today (2/2/17) and confirmed that the issue is related only to the primary paging transmitter and that the standby unit does not cause any problems. They will try to leave it on the backup as much as they can but it will not be possible to leave it solely there overnight.
This issue comes with it's own things to mention...
(a) Comment : "100 pagers are used for all the nursecall , critical codes and general communication so we need to ensure a replacement is sent before taking further action." and, in my personal opinion, health and safety takes precedence over false triggering of a few amateur repeaters...
(b) The backup transmitter cannot be left in service alone. There must be a backup in case of primary failure and it is not possible to change the order of the transmitter devices.
© The transmitter was sourced in the USA and unless there are local service agents capable of resolving the instability, there will be a delay while another transmitter is readied and shipped to Aus.
We are lucky that they are cooperating in this case. It will be resolved but the timeline is a question still to be answered.
Please do not phone the hospital to query or complain : leave the contact arrangements with me as a sole agent representing all of the local amateurs. I was made aware that there have been at least a couple of phone calls already today about the interference and I can assure you that you won't get any answers if you call.
