Greetings in advance.
I have had sporadic service from the RCV site for awhile, sometimes I hear traffic, most times I don't.
Now it is 100% dead carrier.
The other repeaters in my area (STL and GFL) work perfectly.
I really depend on RCV because I can reach it when mobile on my HT.
Normally, my QTH setup is my Yagi on a tripod in my garage aimed at RCV, and a mobile on a power supply. Now that I am only receiving dead carrier, I have to switch to STL to participate in the NETS, which is my behind my Yagi.
By the way, this is happening on ALL my radios simultaneously. Vehicle, HT, home, etc. If I hear a voice on RCV they all hear it, or when RCV transmits dead carrier, all my radios hear a dead carrier, meaning, I am not programming my radios or changing any configurations.
I double checked my CHIRP Next software, RCV has identical tone/squelch (TSQL) settings as STL and GFL. (151.4)
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
My sincerest thanks in advance.

P.S.
Has RCV been fully upgraded? I thought all repeaters were now on TX & RX Tone Squelch, which is what I have my radios set for.
Reviewing https://ve9irg.net/revamp/ctcss trying to dig deep and troubleshoot this,
I found:
"Q: OK, I programmed my radio. It looks like I'm tripping the repeater, the meter shows a signal, but I hear no audio. Why?
A: You may have set the tone on both RX and TX, before the repeater has been upgraded. Even if the repeater has not been upgraded, you can use a tone from your radio, no problem, it will work. But don't set your radio to "tone squelch" (TSQL on some radios) on a repeater that has not been upgraded. If you do, you may see a signal on your meter, but no audio."
This is my issue. So the question is, can anyone positively confirm that RCV has been fully upgraded?
