The Leicestershire Repeater Group was formed in April 1975 with the aim of promoting the interests of amateur radio, and in particular to design, build and maintain electronic apparatus known as repeaters, and kindred equipment.

A Repeater is a relay system primarily for mobile and portable radio users. Such as from the car or on foot. Located high up in Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire, our systems extend your range by many miles and beyond the county.

We do this by re-broadcasting your VHF, UHF, microwave or TV signals.

The complex radio beacons and switching equipment are maintained by members and helpers

We welcome membership and donations from anybody who has an interest in our operations, please click here for more information regarding membership or you can make a donation by clicking on the Donate button *Please do not use this button to pay your membership*


We recommend that all users of our repeaters read the RSGB information regarding repeater abuse, this includes links to the OFCOM information sheet which is available here

We currently operate four repeaters and four beacons, more information on each repeater and beacon (including status) is available by clicking on the ☰ icon at the top left hand corner of this window.

Mobile and Tablet users will find the main navigation menu on the top right of their screen identified by the ☰ icon

 

For many years, reading of the GB2RS news at 09:00 every Sunday morning has alternated between Mike G0ATR and Geoff G4AFJ. Since the sad passing of Geoff, Mike has come to the difficult decision that he cannot continue to read the news every week.

If there is anybody else who would be prepared to assist Mike by sharing the news reading duties, please get in touch.

Until another newsreader is found, there will unfortunately be no news on GB3CF.

All paid-up members of the Leicestershire Repeater Group (for whom we hold an email address) should have received an email with their unique username and password to access the members private area of the website.

GB3LE is operational as a dual-mode Yaesu System Fusion/Analogue repeater connected to the Yaesu Wires-X network.

This is based on a Yaesu DR1-X repeater with a Yaesu HRI-200 Wires-X controller.

GB3CF is a multi-mode repeater with Fusion (C4FM), D-Star, NXDN and analogue modes.

A brief introduction to the updated repeater is available to download here.

 

We would welcome reports from anybody who has access to any of these modes. Please click here to send us a report.
