Beacon
Mode:
When
switched off, the repeater will go to transmit every 10
minutes for 30 seconds with its video caption and audio
call-sign in morse code. The repeater is normally on.
In
use:
When in use the repeater will give its
call-sign, in Morse only every 10 minutes added to the users
audio. The GB3BH ID, top right, will indicate in vision that
the signal is coming from GB3BH.
The repeater will automatically come on
if it receives a valid signal on its analogue input on 2340
MHz or its digital input on 437.0 MHz. 2340 MHz has priority
over 437.0 MHz. This will override any other inputs that may
have been selected.
You can control the repeater by sending
DTMF tones on 432.725 MHz. You will need a DTMF
controller that has numbers and letters e.g. 0123456789ABCD.
First check that the repeater is hearing your 70cm signal.
Checking the DTMF receiver/controller:
With the repeater transmitting, send code
AAB4, the repeater will reply by sending it’s call
sign in Morse added to the audio to confirm that it’s
hearing you.
If the repeater can hear your signal but cannot decode the
DTMF (i.e. incorrect DTMF level, distortion or your
transmitter is off frequency) then the repeater will reply
in Morse with T (-).
The input
priorities are:
1st priority, 13cm Rx
2nd priority 70cm digital Rx.
3rd priority as selected below:

Example, if GB3HV is being
relayed, pressing BB4 will turn off GB3HV and turn on the
slide show. If there is no signal on the input that you have
selected, the repeater sends its call sign and shuts down.
To bring it on again select a different input.
If the repeater fails or
suffers problems while you are operating through it please
call for a committee member on 144.750 MHz if you get no
reply please send an email to the committee members by
