Thanks Lee/Steve. Good signal 59+ and easy access from here. Well done!. May be just condition but also getting co-channel signals from what I think is GB3RK in Belfast?

Ah bugger. looks like i can’t get any access to the new GB3CU. either on transmit or receive. i hear the gate open when i transmit via pistar on my handheld, but dont hear a message. and likewise when i transmit via my base station and watching the pistar dashboard, im messages arent even making it register. sadface.
