Our single repeater site offers you just about every repeater mode that you could wish for!
We operate 5 repeaters which are co-sited on Bleadon Hill,
Weston-super-Mare.
We currently operate using 4 Yaesu DR-1X repeaters and an FX-5000 UHF repeater.
Our repeater group offers you:
ALLstar FM UHF on GB3WB
DMR UHF on GB7IT
D-Star UHF on GB7WB
ALLstar FM VHF on GB3WE
Fusion C4FM UHF on GB7IS
GB7IS Fusion C4FM:
You listen on 439.5375MHz
You transmit on 430.5375MHz
That is a -9MHz split
Our fusion repeater GB7IS
is connected to the Internet using
a Wires-X HRI-200 box which is connected directly to the repeater.
You can remote control the repeater using your wires-x button.
GB7WB D-Star:
You listen on 439.4875MHz
You transmit on 430.4875MHz
That is a -9MHz split
GB7WB D-Star users please program your radio with:
‘UR’ programmed with CQCQCQ
‘RPT1’ programmed with GB7WB–B
‘RPT2’ programmed with GB7WB–G
‘My Callsign’ programmed with your own callsign
Note: RPT1 & 2 ‘ –‘ should be programmed as two spaces.

GB3WE ALLstar Analogue FM 2m VHF Repeater:
You listen on 145.6875MHz
Use a -600 KHz Split
94.8Hz CTCSS
GB3WB 70cm ALLstar FM Repeater:
You listen on 433.300MHz
94.8Hz CTCSS
+1.6MHz Split
You transmit on 434.900MHz
At the end of each transmission or ‘over’ the analogue repeaters will send one of three CW (morse) letters.
They will send an ‘L’ (.-..) if the last user was a local RF user and the repeater is connected to the ALLstar network.
The repeaters will send an ‘I’ (..) if the signal was originating from the Internet.
The repeaters will send a ‘U’ (..-) if they are not connected to the ALLstar network. The last user would have been a local RF user.
GB3WB automatically disconnects from ALLstar at 21:15 until 22:15 every night to allow the repeater to be used for a regular net which is run from the Cardiff area and this net has become a great part of GB3WB.
When ever using the ALLstar network please always leave a four second pause between transmissions as this allows the nodes and repeaters to reset. This four second gap also allows others to break into the conversation.
Both ALLstar repeaters are connected to the HUBNet UK network.
GB7IT 70cms DMR Repeater:
You listen on 439.5125MHz
You transmit on 430.5125MHz
-9MHz Split.
Use colour-code 1, TimeSlot 2 and TalkGroup 9. GB7IT is connected to the Brandmeister Network.
The local chat channel is on TimeSlot 1, TalkGroup 235145, colour-code 1.
However you are free to connect any timeslot to any talkgroup or reflector.
Why not connect TimeSlot 2 to TG 23526 or reflector 4426 so that you can talk to HUBNet using your DMR radio!
Please get in touch using our contact form if you think that any of our 5 repeaters are not working.
