GB7IC C (2m repeater) up and running?

It would seem the 2m port of GB7IC is up and running, to some extent at least.

I can't get anything intelligible from it, but it definitely recognises I'm there.

I will have to try again from a different location.

Had a nice chat with Dick G4HHX though it from Hoo in North Kent.

It's set up to be a dual mode repeater. It switches between GB7IC and GB3KI depending on whether you hit it with analogue or digital. It remains in whichever mode was last used for a period of ten seconds before resetting.

Pretty cool. I'm going to be playing with it a bit more over the next few days.
