GB3UB MB7UUB The Bath Repeaters: Amateur Radio

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 )

MB7UUB is the APRS data digipeater.

UB Update

Was planning to visit tonight but other commitments have prevented it. A visit is now planned for Wednesday evening. I know this is not ideal and many of you will be disappointed, but as the repeater, although not re transmitting is still sending an ID there is not an immediate need to shut it down.

MB7UB Off Air

MB7UB the Bath APRS DigiPeat is currently off air. It appears to have gone off around 1700 yesterday. Unless my helpful fairies make a visit I will try and visit the site before work tomorrow. GB3UB is currently working with no problems.

Echolink

Well thanks to John the Echolink is back working, and much better than ever. It has a new radio and interface which added to the use of CTCSS has given us a very nice link. Please feel to give it a go as we would like some feedback on how it is working.
There is a full list of DTMF commands at http://www.echolink.org/Help/dtmf_functions.htm
but some basic ones are-

01 connect to random repeater
08 checks what station is connected
# disconnects station
node number connects to that station

Have fun.

Echolink

The Echolink has been off for a while. I have contacted the link keeper and it seems the rig has failed. Now I am feeling better I hope the link can be back on as soon as possible. Sorry to those of you who may have wished to use it.
