After many years on the Black Hill TV mast, this repeater was moved to a site in the Kilsyth Hills about 15 miles NW of Glasgow City Centre. In 2016 the repeater was moved to a site in Lanarkshire.

Coverage is most of Lanarkshire and into Glasgow, Overlapping with GB3AY and GB3PA. Coverage to the East past Harthill and North past Cumbernauld is not as good.

Please remember GB3CS is operating Narrow Deviation - Signals with wide deviation may be chopped by the repeater receiver.

If you cannot access with CTCSS try 1750Hz toneburst

Update 2015 - GB3CS taken off air due to damage at the site.

Update November 2015 - GB3CS will be on the air shortly from an Alternative location.

Update January 2016 - GB3CS on Air from its new Lanarkshire location.
