Break in the link path between CARLA 4 & 29
Last updated on September 11, 2025 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | Permalink
We seem to have a break in the link path somewhere between CARLA 4 & 29.
We're unable to ping systems south of Carla 4. Crews are trying to isolate the problem.
Network Status Update for September 2025
Last updated on September 2, 2025 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | Permalink
A couple of site trips were made in August to Northern Nevada and the Redding area:
CARLA 23: Is back on the air after finding the coax was removed from a previous customer decommission
job at the site. Repairs were made and the system is back on the air.
CARLA 21: The primary power supply unit failed during winter and was removed for repairs and re-installation
at a later date. The site is currently running on the back-up PSU/Battery charger until repairs can be made.
The on-battery alarm has been by-passed.
CARLA 25: Among other things, the link antenna was broken and pointing downward and the main repeater
was locked/disabled. Performed repairs and system 25 is now on the air. This also brings 13 and 20 back
on the Carla network as they get access via 25.
CARLA 24 is still on the list for visits, amongst others.

The main link NB at 31 towards VACA Hub is weak with lots of white noise. No ETA for repairs yet.
Interactive Map is impaired
Last updated on January 6, 2021 by The C.A.R.L.A. Team | Permalink
Due to some changes by Google and their Map site, the CARLA Interactive Map is not functioning as it should. We are
working to resolve the problem but it has been a very slow process. Sorry for any inconvenience.
