Good day everyone. I am having a problem with my 2 linked repeaters I have done for a client. The 2 repeaters are to be linked together with Ubiquiti airMAX AC5 radios. Here is the overview of everything:
Site:
Repeater 1: Kirisun DR600, 4-stack folded dipole with highest dipole at 58m; Link 1: Ubiquiti airMAX AC5, 30dBi antenna @ 65m
Repeater 2: Kirisun DR600, 4-stack folded dipole with highest dipole at 58m; Link 2: Ubiquiti airMAX AC5, 30dBi antenna @ 65m
Settings:
Repeater 1: ID - 1001, CC - 01, Beacon interval - 600s, Beacon duration - 3000ms, Static IP, Local IP - 192.168.1.1, Gateway IP - 192.168.1.1, Set as Master, Listening port - 50000, Slot 1 as wide with ID 0, Slot 2 as wide with ID 1
Link 1: Set as AP, Bridge, PTP, ACL with Link 2 MAC entered, SSID - LINK, password - LINK, Channel spacing - 20MHz, Centre frequency - 5580MHz, IP - 192.168.1.112, Primary DNS - 192.168.1.1, Secondary DNS - 192.168.1.2,
Repeater 2: ID - 1002, CC - 01, Beacon interval - 600s, Beacon duration - 3000ms, Static IP, Local IP - 192.168.1.2, Gateway IP - 192.168.1.1, Set as Peer, Listening port - 50001, Slot 1 as wide with ID 0, Slot 2 as wide with ID 1
Link 2: Set as base station, Bridge, PTP, Locks onto Link 1 MAC, SSID - LINK, password - LINK, Channel spacing - 20MHz, Centre frequency - 5580MHz, IP - 192.168.1.113, Primary DNS - 192.168.1.1, Secondary DNS - 192.168.1.2,
Both repeaters have the following table in them:
My issue comes in that when I log into the Link radios it shows me that they see each other and getting speeds of about 20Mbps and their signal is about 12db above the noise floor. These links are about 50km apart. When I key up Repeater 1 it doesn't cause Repeater 2 to transmit and visa verca.
This repeater site is about 1100km away from me so traveling up to do maintenance is very time consuming and I would like to have this all sorted and working for my client.
Does anyone know what settings I should look at changing to get the link to work correctly? I have to place a platform 10m off the ground to reach the repeater enclosure so it is a timely en devour and I would like to know what to troubleshoot so that I set up the the platform at each site as few times as possible. The repeaters are to just transmit voice as they don't use the data feature of their DMR radios and share the repeater with an anti-poaching unit hence both slots being on wide.
