A liitle about the repeater

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

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 )

GB3UB back. watch deviation!!

Well the visit tonight went well the repeater is working well with many stations heard tonight.
There seems to be a slight problem with weak stations having a noise with them but we think we know the source of this and hopefully will have a solution soon.

One thing to watch is that the repeater is set for +-2.5Khz. Some radios can be adjusted (set to 'Narrow') however some older models and some modified radio's can not. If you have one of these please be careful with the modulation (i.e. don't talk too loud) and you should not have a problem.

It would also be helpful if you could let me know where you are when you access the repeater this will give me soom idea on how the repeater is performing.
