Don’t forget to take a look at the web site of our sister repeater gb3jt.co.uk which is currently under construction with service expected in November 2025. The plan is for both repeaters to operate as a linked pair.

29th September 2025: GB3OO has today received its NoV for Folkestone, so it’s all system go building the new repeater, the good news is that the GB3JT repeater controller is virtually complete, so as the hard work has been done the main job is to clone the design for GB3OO. GB3JT is essentially a slightly improved version of GB3JV, so should all be straightforward to replicate.

If you are already registered on the GV3JV web site, you will find that your login credentials have been carried across to GB3OO. The web site is in a very early stage of development, so many of the pages are currently restricted, this will change as we get closer to the launch of this new repeater.

GB3OO proudly uses SMARTY (A Which? magazine recommended mobile network provider) SMARTY only offer a 30 day contract with unlimited calls & texts (EU roaming included) and superb 5G performance (439Mb/s as personally tested on a iPad M1 PRO here in Petts Wood).
