News for Scotland – 29 August 2021

With clubs beginning to meet face to face and enjoy other activities, please make sure you keep GB2RS up to date. We can now accept repeat information such as nets and meetings but you must let us know at least every three months that nothing has changed.

When using GB3BT, please use the correct, narrow deviation. The maximum deviation the repeater accepts for clean audio is 2.5kHz, which is the narrow setting on your radio. The repeater keeper thinks that the output deviation from BT is possibly slightly on the high side and hopes to correct this soon, along with slightly increasing the hang time.
