The gateway

This website is broadly, in support of the amateur radio station G8CZE
and companion stations.

G8CZE GATEWAY:-

Note, the correct locator is IO83WL.
Latitude 53.475107 (53° 28' 30'' N) Longitude -2.147124 (2° 8' 49'' W)
NOT as shown with some publications, which are developing many inaccuracies.
The gateway frequency is 430.050 MHz, (simplex). With a CTSS of 82.5 Hz.
And the location is: Droylsden, East Manchester.

Please use "NARROW DEVIATION" with Rf. gateways.
The GATEWAY is currently on low Power. At approx. 1.8 Watt ERP.
Would anyone like a little more power? There is a limit of 5 Watt ERP.

AllStar and Echolink, G8CZE-L connections are unaffected by this.
The gateway, also HUB has the AllStar node number 42202.
AllStar connections generally being in duplex, when possible.
The G8CZE, APRS beacon is via the Internet only.

After logging in:
Operators can use the *DTMF functions in "supermon2", to:
steer the gateway to other AllStar connections. Including isolating the gateway.
Chose "disconnect all" Then move the gateway node with it's satellite connections to a new connection, using the star commands listed.
You do then HAVE TO reconnect YOU'RE node to the gateway.
(Because you have done a "disconnect all", which included you.)

The steering table changes and so this DEMO picture , no longer represents it.
But should give one an idea of how it functions.

HubNET

HubNET disconnects most gateways when their Echolink bridge is connected to, by any incoming Echolink station. Allstar only connections are not affected.
It is this action! That unfortunately makes HubNet incompatible with this Echolink bridge and gateway.
So this gateway, seldom connects with HubNET. This could change? But not yet - October 4 2026

Viewer's wishing to gain user and passkey access to the control panel features.
Are again reminded to contact me, for their login details. Email (gmail) will do.

For the curious!
This Stations node software is - RPi2-3-4 Version 1.7-09 Allstar - May 13, 2026 - K4FXC
