GB3KU AND MB7IUK OFF AIR

Due to a Allstar Controller fault causing the Repeater to be on constant TX on GB3KU and them both being linked to the same GSM Switch, Both GB3KU and MB7IUK will be off Air until at least 21/10/2017 when I will hopefully get chance to look at the issue. OFF AIR Since 15/10/2017 Expected resolution time 21/10/2017 /M0NCZ

STH YORKSHIRE

According to the web site of the SYRG their repeaters are poised to shutdown. This includes GB3HF, GB3NA, GB3SY and GB7YD all located in South Yorkshire.

GB7VO

Just a quick note to say that GB7VO (Leominster DSTAR Repeater) had q failure on it's Raspberry Pi and the SD card within. This meant that the RF part of the repeater was fine, but the networking was faulty. Pleased to say that with the help of the Wyre Forest Repeater Group (GB7WF) and in particular G8OXG and G1ZRN, GB7VO is now back on the DCS Network - Default linking to DCS-005M (Midlands). Repair was carried out on Friday 06/10/17 at the Hereford ARS monthly meeting, where the repeater is based. Many thanks Matt G8XYJ

NOT OPERATIONAL  17 Oct
Off air due to a lack of power. It's that time of year again, and the batteries are not getting enough charge from the Solar Panels and Wind turbine, to support all the loads, which also include GB7JB, GB3USK and GB3WSX. Systems will be back on when batteries are suitably re-charged.
