GB3UB MB7UB The Bath Repeaters

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.

Echolink

I have had serious issues with the Echolink since changing ISP. They don't provide a fixed IP as standard, and as such I have been relying on the Echolink proxy server service. This has now become unreliable to use with a link and I 'bit the bullet' and went with a fixed/static IP address. This has resolved all the issues and as such the link is now working as it should. I now just need to improve the signal into the repeater.

Working much better.

Finally got another PC for the shack and the link. Running Echolink on a £3 soundcard which is working really well with audio levels 100% better than before.

Echolink revived

Little update on the Echolink. After a little work the link is now working, still not 100% happy with the audio, but it is workable. Hopefully it will continue without any major issues.
