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 )

MB7UUB is the APRS data digipeater.

You can find out what I do in my day job HERE.

More playing.

The Echolink seems to running OK. I have changed the Internet feed. It was running of a range extender but that was messing with my house WIFI. I am now sharing the Internet from my weather and APRS laptop. It has been fine all day but I will monitor it to make sure it doesn't time out or go to sleep. I have also adjust the aerial and made some slight audio adjustments which seem to have improved things. Ant comments would be most appreciated.
