GB3AW, the NE Hampshire UHF Repeater is currently (as at 17.30 on 04/06/26) off air. The repeater and antenna has to be moved a small distance but this requires a fair bit of antenna work, which will take some time. It is anticipated that GB3AW should be back on air as soon as possible but the summer is a busy time!.
Any KM3000 or KM4000 radios sold by TVRG from now (mid-May 2026) will now be programmed with frequencies as taken from the ETCC website at the beginning of May. This will be the final update that we do, so if you want to make sure you can update any later changes, make sure you buy a programming cable.
TVRG will have a table at the Newbury Rally on Sunday 6th July and hope to be at the McMichael Rally, near Maidenhead on the 12th July.
For over 3 years we have been selling KM3000 and KM4000 VHF radios. However, all good things come to an end and we’re down to the last 50. So, now’s the time to buy one, so take a look at the For Sale section. We will also be at the Newbury Rally on Sunday 5th July 2026 and also the McMichael and Wimborne Rallies (assuming we still have radios).
Chris, G4CCC, one of the founder members of the TVRG (originally known as the BDRG) has decided to retire from the Group. Chris became the contact person when Baz, G8DOR migrated to Scotland.
The new contact is Tony Cox, G8TEE, who most of you will know or have contacted. Other contacts are as listed on this website.
Running and operation of the repeaters will remain unchanged, however there may be news regarding GB3AW in the next few weeks.
On Thursday 9th October 2025, the planned swap of sites between GB7BK and GB3RU took place and both are now operational again. Please look at the pages for RU and BK to get more details.
In order to stir up activity and increase usage, TVRG have taken the decision to swap the sites of GB7BK and GB7RU. So, GB7BK will be located at Tilehurst and GB3RU on the Berkshire Downs. More information for the time being can be found here.
