Now for the second big announcement to start the New Year with!

Barsley based amateur radio retailer LAMCO have announced on Facebook that they are sponsoring the installation of a Yaesu DR-1 xe Digital Fusion Repeater that will be used to replace the PRF10 currently in use by GB3HS at high Hunsley.

This will NOT affect current users of the GB3HS analogue service and the repeater will perform much as it does now but it will allow those users with Yaesu Fusion equipment to use a digital repeater. It will also support cross mode contacts.

There will not be an Internet connection as that functionality is still in development.

The Group will continue to support D-Star on GB7HU and no changes are planned for that service.

The announcement from LAMCO is reproduced below:
