GB7NM Fusion Operation

GB7NM is a dual-mode D-STAR / Fusion repeater on 145.7375Mhz -0.600 Mhz Shift. It is running pi-star software with an STM32-DVM Top hat on a Raspberry Pi3 connected to 2 Kenwood TK7180 mobile radios.

The most important thing when operating this and any other repeater is please leave at least a 3-second gap between overs this allows other users to connect and for timers to reset.
If this repeater is operating in its other mode you may hear white noise if you are listening on the opposite mode.

Before operation please key the radio for 1 – 2 seconds giving your callsign to enable the repeater to switch modes.
