Echolink
GB3NB is connected to Echolink via the QTH of Mark G0LGJ, It is planned to move to the repeater site in the future however this will take some time to modify logic,TX/RX and test on site.
The main thing to remember is to LEAVE A GAP.

Usage
You can connect to Echolink via your home computer or use your radio, if using the later you will need a way of generating DTMF tones normally a DTMF Microphone, (PC DTMF Tone Generator here unzip and install you could then use this application and key your mic to send DTMF tones if you radio does not have a DTMF microphone)
GB3NB’s node number is 801356
You can of course use
the Internet and the Echolink application, however you will need to set up port forwarding on your router 5198 5199 and 5200 to get the application to work. A quick google search will solve most problems and the Router Firewall Test within Echolink will tell you if you have it working correctly, however if you get stuck use our contact form to get in touch.
Announce with your callsign and then input your DTMF tones best to check if the repeater is connected with a 08 first. Don’t just key up.
