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.

Observations

The weekend has been busy on the box with a lot of new callsigns heard (well new to me)

There are a couple of things that need to be noted.

The repeater does not encode (transmit) the 118.8 ctcss tone at present.

It can be accessed with a 1750 tone burst but please be careful with deviation. Some radios tone burst will push the deviation outside the range of the repeater and access will not be possible.

If you are using a wide deviation radio try and keep the audio quiet and you should be OK.
