GB3WB, GB7WB & GB3WE Repeaters

- GB3WE is now on air from Bleadon Hill Weston-super-Mare. Running full power, in dual-mode once more but now using G4KLX analogue repeater software Both WE & WB now run full power - - GB3WE & GB7WB can now be connected to D-Star Reflectors simply by using your DTMF keypad! # for unlinking, 0 to trigger the info message, *1C to link to REF001C, 1A to link to XRF001A. - Please leave a 2 second gap between overs! Otherwise you will sound R2D2 to all listeners and stop others from breaking in. - Check out our new GB7WB Activity Page where you can see who has been using our D-Star Repeaters. 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! - GB7WB & GB3WB are on the air using our brand-new UHF FX5000 repeaters and are controlled by the very latest Jonathan Naylor software. Our R2D2 problems on receive have now long gone. GB7WB & GB3WE, also using an FX5000 are working the best that they ever have, both running DV-RPTR Modems which are controlled by G4KLX software, and are both fully remote controllable via DPLUS commands as well as DTMF for connections to REF, XRF & X-Net Reflectors, so give them a try!. - GB7WB & GB3WE 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!
