GB3YR Live streaming shack Cam

April 21, 2010

We are proud to announce our latest channel to SYRG TV – The GB3YR Shack cam.

GB3YR is our analogue 2m repeater located in Maltby, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire.

What makes GB3YR so unique is that it works hand-in-hand with our MoTron TxID? Transmitter FingerPrinting System.

The MoTron TxID board identifies individual transmitters using a patented technique based on the principle that carrier operated radio transmitters exhibit a unique frequency versus time start-up characteristic before stabilizing on the operating frequency.

This means that all transmissions can be “Fingerprinted” to detect and identify individual radios that are being used to abuse analogue repeaters. Later this year we’ll be giving a demonstration of the MoTron TxID to show you how good it really is

The new GB3YR stream can accessed from our LIVE TV page on the site.

Barry Williams, 46, from Sheringham, believes he could have set a new world record after managing to pick up a signal from Australia using a portable radio backpack.

Barry who often uses Beeston Hill in Sheringham as a point to send out and receive radio signals – said: “It’s pure luck if you can get a signal outside of Europe.

Ham radio and D-Star to get boost from TV sitcom

The ABC Television series, “Last Man Standing” is about Mike Baxter (played by Tim Allen), a marketing executive for “Outdoor Man,” a fictitious sporting goods store in Colorado. Mike, is a “man’s man” and involved in all kinds of outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating. Likewise, Mike (and Tim) has a love for all the electronics that go with these activities. Among Mike’s interests is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). Tim's character (Mike Baxter), is KA0XTT. This is a call sign the show cleared for use on air. "XTT" is a bit of a private joke as Tim's character name on "Home Improvement" was Tim Taylor. So, ex T. T. In the show’s radio inventory is currently an ICOM IC-9100 HF radio, an IC-92AD dual band, hand-held, a Heil PR-781microphone, a Daiwa CN-801HP SWR/Power meter a Comet CAA-500 antenna analyzer and a Iambic CW Paddle.
