GB3UB MB7UB The Bath Repeaters: August 2018

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 )

MB7UB is the APRS data digipeater.

You can find out what I do in my day job HERE.

More playing.

The Echolink seems to running OK. I have changed the Internet feed. It was running of a range extender but that was messing with my house WIFI. I am now sharing the Internet from my weather and APRS laptop. It has been fine all day but I will monitor it to make sure it doesn't time out or go to sleep. I have also adjust the aerial and made some slight audio adjustments which seem to have improved things. Ant comments would be most appreciated.

Echolink Changes

You may have noticed the Echolink callsign has changed. This is due to the link now being located at my QTH. John G4OTJ has hosted this for many years and I would like to thank him for his work over these years. At present it is working on an indoor beam so the signal may not be as good as it could. I will hopefully be able to mount this outside. In the meantime please let me know of any problems you have.
