GB7IV
GB7IV our Fusion repeater is rather deaf following weeks of frustrating adjustments of our second hand filters. . Alan G8IPG & Myself feel the best way foreward is to remove IV off air as its both Deaf and on low power TX due to loss of RF in the filters. The "Southern fusion" room is operational as usual, and is accessible via the other repeaters, nodes and hotspots. We are in the process of obtaining for ourselves a set of new duplexers which allow GB7IV to preform excellently, while living peaceably with GB3SH.

UHF CAVITY FILTER
Does anyone have a spare single cavity UHF filter we could borrow to try and notch out an interfering signal ? e.g. an old Pye SA450 type or equivalent. If the trial works, we will buy one to use permanently. Many thanks Regards Peter G3YXZ Radio Society of Harrow Mob: 07713 155580

INTERNET CONNECTED REPEATERS/GATEWAYS
When connecting your Repeater or Gateway to some type of internet server, it is not unreasonable that the service provider might request proof of you having a valid NoV to run the station to connect to their service. It is the responsibility of the NoV holder to supply the information/proof requested, this is not something that ETCC would respond to without the permission of the NoV holder. Thank you.
