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.

Guidelines for using IRLP and echo link on GB3YR
Its great to see GB3YR becoming the centre of attention again and great to hear folks making use of the internet linking systems. There is so much pleasure available to everyone via SYRG’s internet linked repeaters GB3YR & GB7YD. With the upsurge in usage of echolink/IRLP and after listening to feedback from users on GB3YR, the group feel that some simple guidelines for usage need re-iterating. The system is there for all users and relies upon a common code of ethics. Below is a brief extract from the guidelines on linking and unlinking GB3YR. Full guidelines for using GB3YR can be found on the GB3YR page and in the SYRG forum.
Guidelines for using IRLP and echo link on GB3YR
Listen on the repeater network for at least 15 -30 seconds first to make sure a QSO is not in progress or the network is not linked to another Echo link, IRLP Node or Reflector……………..read more
Operating IRLP node
The Internet Radio Linking Project is very easy and intuitive to use; please make sure you listen carefully to the voice prompts so you know what is happening the system gives messages about each action.
To use the GB3YR you need a radio with DTMF capabilities as well as 71.9 Hz CTCSS, and you need to have a good clear signal into the repeater. Please listen to the repeater for a while …………read more
You can check the IRLP status page to find the Node number of a particular IRLP node.

Please let us know of any problems with the network
