23 June : A up-date from Evan GW4AKZ, via e-mail today.....
Hi Barry
I have the logic interfaced to the repeater, not all functions tested yet but looks promising. Will now have to run more test's and make sure everything works ok logic wise. Then the cavities have to be realigned. On air testing in carrier operated talk through from home whilst in attendance can be tested. Then tests from the site probably on a temporary antenna.

" cleared to go"
( i.e. a call and frequency has been allocated ,and passed by OFCOM & the R.S.G.B.)
The call is GB3AP. On RV49 rx 145.6125 tx 145.0125 CTCSS F= 94.8Hz

A commercial made antenna has been ordered ( the average order time is 6-8 weeks),
And a modern logic control board is well under construction ,along with various bits
of Hardware required to build the Repeater.
As info becomes available it will be added to this post on our Blog.
Well done Evan.
