Watch direct live stream below (should be lower latency than batc stream):

GV sleeps between 22:00 and 10:00 and wakes up when valid video on input during this time, then back to sleep after QSO

 

Although the repeater has since been converted to DVB-S (digital) operation, the following article provides an interesting insight into the design of an ATV repeater.

GB3GV is currently running on low power (approx 1w to feeder) due to a failed pre-amp. We hope to have this replaced in the next few days.
