Courteous use of WR
The time out timer(TOT) is set to 3 minutes,so be mindful of this when transmitting a long over.
Please allow both pips of the courtesy tones to play between overs not only to make sure the TOT has reset but to allow other users to call in.
When you are checking access to the repeater please state your callsign,blipping the repeater is annoying and is against your licensing conditions.

Below is a picture of our repeaters in the rack with the RC210 repeater controller on top,Yaesu repeater(GB7PM) ,on the bottom is the trusty old Philips box that is our stand by and sat on top of the Phillips is the Simoco repeater.
The Arcom RC210 repeater controller allows us to control all of the repeaters if required however it is primarily used on the Simoco FM repeater. If all fails we can switch over to the Philips and use its own dedicated logic.
The Yaesu DR1X fusion repeater that was in use providing dual mode operation on WR has now been reprogrammed as a digital only service on 70cm's www.gb7pm.co.uk/
