The local repeaters
IMPORTANT:: GB3LH currently on temporary TX antenna - some coverage changes are to be expected during this period
Coverage test recordings for the 2m voice link are now concluded - thanks to all who participated.
Repeater coverage locally is good - pretty much all of the county is covered from one or more of the local repeaters. There is activity on the repaters throughout the day, but as is expected - peak usage times are usually morning / evening commute times.
Local CTCSS tone is region G - 103.5Hz
| Repeater | Channel | Input/Output | CTCSS | (enabled?) | Keeper | coverage |
|---|
| GB3PW | RV62 (R7) | 145.175 / 145.775 | G | Yes | GW4NQJ | map |
| GB3CW | RB4 | 434.700 / 433.100 | G | Yes | GW4NQJ | map |
| GB3LH | RU270 (RB15) | 434.975 / 433.375 | G | Yes | G8DIR | map |
| GB3TF | RU256 (RB8) | 433.200 / 434.800 | G | | | map |
(NB: coverage maps are aproximated - provided by http://www.ukrepeater.net/)
With the exception of GB3TF which is managed by the Telford club, repeaters in and around Shropshire are managed by the Repeater Managment Group, a subsection of the Salop ARS Committee.
The repeaters are funded by donations from the Shrewsbury and Powys clubs.
Please consider a suitable donation to the repeater fund if you find the repeaters in Shropshire and Powys useful as site rental and upkeep grows ever more expensive.
