Latest News

GB3ZA is back to standard FM & C4FM

GB3HC is still FM & C4FM but now also hooked up to YSF wires-x

GB3ZA is now live on the Wires-X network.

Josh M0WYP started off by updating the firmware. First on the transceiver, secondly on the DSP. This is obviously a good thing both for analogue and digital users. The sound quality was noticeably better on the restart.

The clubs/repeaters local room is GB3ZA. But any room from a connected node world-wide can be selected by the user and Tim G0JWJ and I did test QSOs which were very successful.

When we have some warmer and more settled weather Josh is happy to update the firmware on GB3HC and this too can then be connected to Wires-x with the second port on HRI-200 box.
