Repeaters

GB3WK

A little history, I understand that the repeater first came on air in early 1980. The logic for it was designed at Warwick University and uses a Motorola 6800 microprocessor.

The cavities are based on a design by G8AMG.

The original radio used was an IC240, much modified. This radio was getting problematic and could not easily be converted to 12.5kHz working, so a set of AWA SR210 Rural Radio Telephone equipment was re-tuned to 145.175/145.775MHz and a copy of the logic added, this is still in service today.

The radios used on this repeater are Pye R412 & T412, with a copy of the Warwick University logic. A set of Tait T855 & T856 equipments are being worked on to replace the ageing Pye units.
