GB3UB MB7UUB 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 )

GB3UB Off Air

As you may have noticed UB has lost it's pips. A visit was made today but unfortunately an on site repair was not possible. The unit has been removed for repair and hence UB is off air for the next few days.

MB7UB Reapplication

I have tonight put in an application to put MB7UB back on air again. Not sure how long things will take and then I will have to see what I am going to do regarding equipment. I am hoping that the TNC can be setup to take away the need for a laptop permanently running, which caused most of the previous problems. So it is now a case of watch this space.

MB7UB RIP

After many years of service, I have decided to close down MB7UB. Over the last few years the RF use of APRS has almost been overtaken by internet based systems and smartphone App's. There is still some RF mobiles about but in my view not enough to justify relicensing etc. So unless I get a massive rush of interest, MB7UB R.I.P.
