TV Repeater changes
On 4 February the Arfon Repeater Group's amateur TV repeater GB3TM located on the north coast of Anglesey in North Wales had modifications made to its transmission mode.
A digital transmitter was installed and is now operational on 1316MHz. It is planned that GB3TM will transmit on both analogue and digital modes, but not both at the same time.
The analogue mode will be the normal mode, with the digital system being called up by DTMF tones by the user.

GB7RW Operational (25 January 2010)
Dave, G4DAX confirms that GB7RW at Octon in East Yorkshire went on air on Saturday 24th January.
It replaces GB3YC which was shut down beforehand.
GB7RW is currently operating in a stand alone mode as the broadband connection refused to work when the router was connected and is under investigation.

GB3IN Dual-Mode (20 January 2010)
Jon, G4TSN reports that GB3IN is now full dual mode FM/d-star running the latest pcrepeatercontoller software by Jonathan G4KLX.
The repeater can now be accessed in either mode from cold, once in that mode it will stay there until a period of inactivity network or radio (preset) when the repeater returns to a state where it is accessible again by either mode ...full G2 routing and also connection using dplus to reflectors and other gateways is possible for digital users and analogue users have access to the echolink system.
Thanks to G4KLX dedication the project was brought to fruition in less than 9 months.
The software is open source and can be downloaded here
