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 )

All back

Had a site visit tonight with John and at long last GB3UB is ending the correct callsign and MB7UB is back and working. We also replaced the PSU which had failed. Hopefully they will continue to work without any further problems.

MB7UB Update

Currently have MB7UB under test on the bench here in the shack. It consists of a APRS TNC Digi Tracker and an Icom IC2E with reduced deviation. This setup runs completely standalone and is the setup I have wanted for some time. I am waiting for a replaced 2.5mm plug and then it will be ready to install, hopefully sometime next week.
