| Welcome to our repeater page where we give details of our own club repeaters and others around the UK. We also give details about the Echo Link system and how to use it. | |
| A repeater, as the name suggests, is intended to receive (on the input channel) signals from a portable or mobile station and retransmit (relay) them on a different frequency (the output channel) within the same amateur band. Repeaters are unmanned and entirely automatic operation. They are situated on the top of a hill or tall building where the antenna can be positioned as high as possible. |  Graham G1RNZ and Dave (G3ZPA) (right) making some on site checks at GB3MK. |
| Thus the limited range of a portable or mobile station going through a repeater can be greatly increased. | |
