August 2022
Replaced the Simoco TSF2025 base station with a Hytera RD982 as a temporary measure, no logic controller with this unit, so no pip or K between overs.
July 2021
Echolink connection setup and now operational. Search for GB3ST-R on your Echolink app.

July 2020
Site visit replaced faulty cooling fans back on full power.
8/04/2020
It would appear the second cooling fan for the RF PA section on the transmitter has failed. So the repeater automatically switches to reduced power and will without notice close-down if the internal temperature becomes too high in this warmer weather.
Access to site with the COVID-19 rules is not possible at the moment and the site owner is in self isolation.
