GB3WB, GB7WB & GB3WE Repeaters

- GB3WE is now on air from Bleadon Hill Weston-super-Mare. Running low power in digital-mode only while being tested. Both WE & WB only running 500mW while batteries are in poor condition The major tower overhaul work is complete. - - While the repeaters batteries are in a flat state, the repeaters will automatically turn off at midnight and back on at 7am. The repeaters will also automatically turn off if the battery voltage falls under 22v and not repower until the battery voltage rises above 24v - Because GB7WB & GB3WE use the same ircDDB Gateway both repeaters cannot be connected to the same reflector simultaneously. - Please leave a 2 second gap between overs! Otherwise you will sound R2D2 to all listeners and stop others from breaking in. The repeaters batteries failed during the freezing weather and now don't hold a charge for long. We need to replace the batteries asap - Check out our new GB7WB Activity Page where you can see who has been using our D-Star Repeater. It is now as easy as clicking on the callsigns to jump to websites which tell you who they are as well as pages about the reflector and repeater which they are using! You can now issue your unlink command 'U' while the reflector is busy transmitting. Now you don't have to wait between transmissions to QSY from a busy reflector! - Can't see the WB live video? Do you just see the message 'connecting' ?, then try downloading the codec WVC1 from Microsoft (see the link on the right of our page) or run Microsoft media player. Also be sure to click on the 'allow to run the unreal streaming media add-on' at the top of the screen. - GB7WB is on the air using our brand-new UHF FX5000 repeater and it is controlled by the new Jonathan Naylor software. Our R2D2 problems on receive have now gone. GB7WB is working the best it ever has, and is fully remote controllable via DPLUS commands for connections to REF & XRF Reflectors, so give it a try!. - GB7WB New features: At the end of your transmission you now get a text message telling you which reflector you are connected to as well as the quality of your signal into the repeater. This will say BER 0% if your Bit Error Rate was 0%. This indicates a perfect signal. BER 5% would be a bad signal. The lower your BER the better! You can now issue your unlink command 'U' while the reflector is busy transmitting. Now you don't have to wait between transmissions to QSY from a busy reflector! If you send an 'i' (for INFO) instead of a 'U' the repeater will read out its connection status for you! - Always disconnect from reflectors prior to using STARnet Digital Group Calling. Set your UR memory to STN934 and key-up to register on our group, All group calls will then be routed to you on whatever ircDDB enabled repeater you move to from then onwards!
