Calne Gateway G7FEK-L
Technical Parameters:

430.050 / 144.825 Mhz FM Simplex
Usually connected to the Exeternet Gateway Cluster or used for technical research and development.
Available 0900 - 0100 UTC

Set your 2m/70cm Transceiver to 144.8250 or 430.050 MHz. 94.8Hz CTCSS (Encode only) (No repeater shift or toneburst).

Using the gateway

Listen on the frequency for a minute or two to make sure that the gateway is not already in use.

Use the gateway as you would any simplex or repeater contact, but please note the following...

The gateway is not a local repeater. It is a simplex (IN/OUT) gateway and only relays signals coming to and from the network. You may not hear a low powered local station already using the gateway locally so please keep your squelch as open as possible and use a reasonably high RF output power if available to ensure local stations can hear you.

Please treat your contact as you would any other simplex or repeater contact but please leave a reasonable pause between overs. This allows for any short delay in the voip system and it gives other stations a chance to break in.

Please do not contact LOCAL stations on the gateway frequency as your conversation will not be relayed locally by the gateway, but it will be relayed through the gateway system over all the connected links worldwide. Please change to an alternative simplex frequency for local communication.
