GB3UB MB7UB The Bath Repeaters: October 2012

A liitle about the repeater

Both repeaters are located HERE, on the roof of Bath University overlooking the historic city of Bath

GB3UB is the 70cm 433mhz voice repeater and operates on 433.100/434.700mhz, ctcss 118.8hz. It uses a converted Storno base station using G8CUL logic running 10w to two Jaybeam folded dipoles. It provides hand-held coverage around the city of Bath, out towards Chippenham, down towards Midsomer Norton and across towards Westbury. It is internet linked via Echolink (node no. 201135 )

Echolink

Well thanks to John the Echolink is back working, and much better than ever. It has a new radio and interface which added to the use of CTCSS has given us a very nice link. Please feel to give it a go as we would like some feedback on how it is working.
There is a full list of DTMF commands at http://www.echolink.org/Help/dtmf_functions.htm
but some basic ones are-

01 connect to random repeater
08 checks what station is connected
# disconnects station
node number connects to that station

Have fun.
