GB3HR, The Harrow 433 MHz (70 cms) FM RepeaterThe new UHF Base Station has now been installed and is running 9 Watts erp from our site near Harrow Weald. The new transceiver consists of a Tait TB-7100 Software Defined Radio (SDR) running 12 Watts RF output on 433.350 MHz and receiving on 434.950 MHz. The station will relay FM transmissions using either a 1750 Hz tone burst or a continuous sub-audible tone of 82.5 Hz. The station identifies as GB3HR D in Morse Code, the D denoting the sub-audible code 82.5 Hz. The station has also had a new 6dbD gain collinear antenna installed and this has greatly improved coverage throughout Watford, Harrow and surrounding areas. Please listen out for our station and call through if you have 433 MHz FM capability. Several RSH club members can be found there. 73, Peter Marcham G3YXZ Donations towards the upkeep of GB3HR will be very gratefully received - please contact Peter Marcham for details: peter.marcham@btinternet.com, 07713 155580 |
