Well it seems all has not gone smoothly in getting the faulty paging transmitter replaced - to the extent that it was actually placed back in service last night after the alternative transmitter failed. The interference was plainly audible on at least 3 repeaters and visible on the SDR spectrum displays this morning. Somehow the transmitter didn't get sent back to the supplier after it was determined as being faulty.
The hospital coordinator's email advising the transmitter changeover was responded to today and a few more emails have been exchanged since. The ACMA was also updated as to the return of the interference and they may yet take the lead in achieving a permanent solution.
As quoted in the last email: "Patient care is the most important aspect and it is vital we have paging communications until this issue is resolved " and I agree with that statement. They will try to find a remedy as soon as they can. In the meantime, we will have to take note that they are well aware of the interference issues and are dealing with it as quickly as possible, keeping in mind the care and safety of patients is their highest priority.
I will update here as further developments occur.
We will just have to "grin and bear it" just for now....
