SR3P - FM repeater


First attempts to build a FM repeater have been evidenced to take place in June of 1981 when the Provincial Department of the Polish Ham Radio Association in Poznan applied to the Administration of the Polish Ham Radio Association and to the National Radioinspection Service for adequate permissions. However, in that periode of time this kind of things turned out to be impossible.
Only after the colleagues from Ogrodzieniec (SR9E - the first Polish FM repeater) succeeded in getting such a permission, the willingness of having an own repeater in Poznan revived.
After almost one year lasting pertractations with the relevant authorities the permission was granted at the beginning of December of 1986. It was a third permission in Poland, but the second permanent one (SR5E in Warsaw had a temporary permission).
Straight off the repaeter was mounted and set going on December 30, 1986. Soon there occured problems caused by low temperatures at the location, but they were directly fixed by placing the whole equipment in a thermoresistive environment. From January of 1987 till now the repeater has been working with hardly any maintenance activities (only antennas replacement and slight corrections of duplexer filters could be mentioned).
