The original Gateway was sold to LCARC as it was seeing little to no use in Galway City. A new system was installed using different hardware. To date this gateway has been working on DMR and D-Star. Raspberry Pi replaced and New Software added.

Status - Operational
7) Galway Fusion Repeater - EI2KMR
This system is comprised of an HRi200 Wires-X Modem, FTM100D Transceiver, and vertical colinear antenna. The Gateway defaults to the CQ-IRL Wires-X node but can be connected to any other node selectable by the user. Will revert back to
CQ-IRL after 15 minutes of inactivity. As the Galway Fusion Repeater is situated in Loughrea, this Gateway can provide excellent access for low powered handheld operators in the Galway City area. To date, this system has run trouble-free since installation.
Operating Frequency 144.8125 MHz
Status - Operational
3) Galway City DMR Repeater - EI7RHD
This system is comprised of a Hytera RD 985 D Repeater and a high gain colinear antenna. The Repeater was placed on-site at Letteragh Co. Galway on the 4th of November 2018 and the system has run trouble-free since installation.

7) Galway Fusion Repeater - EI2KMR
In a joint initiative with the G.R.E.C., it was decided that we would contribute towards this project. The proposed Fusion Repeater is a Yaesu DRX-1. This is a dual-mode Repeater that auto-senses between C4FM and Analog modes. The Repeater was placed on-site on Saturday the 13th of June 2020 in hte Loughrea area. A Wires-X Gateway has been added to enable worldwide access. Initial reports revealed good coverage of Co. Galway with low power access possible from Co. Mayo. The Gateway is linked into CQ-IRELAND which has EI7WHR, Limerick, and the EI2SHD Gateway, located in Salthill Galway. There is a reasonable level of activity on CQ Ireland with a number of casual links and callers. There has been a growing interest from the Northern Ireland Counties.
Frequency input 145.025
Frequency Output 145.625

8) Roscommon Multi-Mode Gateway - EI2BED
This project is operating on 144.8625 MHz from its new site in Ballybride Co. Roscommon. The system is currently operating on, DMR, D-Star. This system has been running since 23/04/2020 from its QTH in Roscommon. The SYSOP is Paul EI9HQB.
Operating Frequency 144.8625 MHz
Status - Operational
9) Kildare Multi-Mode Gateway - EI2KTD
This project is operating on 144.8375 MHz from a site on the outskirts of Kildare Town Co Kildare. The system is currently operating on, DMR, D-Star, and Yaesu Fusion, shortly. This system has been running since 20/04/2020 from its QTH in Kildare. The SYSOP is Trevor EI2GLB.
Operating Frequency 144.8375 MHz
Status - Operational
10) D-Star Repeater - EI7SLR
The original 70cm Analog Repeater from Abbeyknockmoy was removed and, following some "transplant surgery" running Analog and D-Star. A D-Star IRCDDB gateway will be fitted to complete the project. Whilst, there is not a huge demand for D-Star, with only 4 users locally, this will provide an excellent service to those wishing to experiment or those passing through Galway City. This operates on RB14 using the Callsign EI7SLR in both Analog and D-Star modes.
Frequency Input 434.950
Frequency Output 433.350
CTCSS Tone 77 Hz
Status - Operational
11) 4 Metre Allstar Gateway - EI4GCD
EI5DD decided to revamp this project with a new M0AQC EchoLink/Allstar interface connected to the existing Raspberry Pi. Whilst it is an Analog project, we are sure that true four-metre operators would appreciate the extra activity that this may bring to the band from outside of the Country. The Gateway went on air on Monday the 6th of November 2021 and the results have been impressive. Audio quality from this node is excellent.
Frequency 70.425
CTCSS Tone 77 Hz
Allstar Node Number 52469

12) DMR Repeater - EI#???.
Frequency Output 439. ???
Status - To Go on site in 2022
This
system will be a Hytera RD 985 D Repeater and a high gain colinear
antenna. The Repeater will be placed on a high site expanding the Galway
Digital Network still further to the East and Southeast. The Repeater has been procured and we are currently seeking a new location for it
Frequency Input 430. ???Frequency Output 439. ???

13) Galway D-Star Repeater
Following the donation of an ICOM D-Star Repeater by the Northwest Repeater Group, it will be possible to have an exclusive D-Star only system running on 70cms. The Repeater had been troublesome with a P.A. that did not seem to be able to cope with the workload. Rather than effect a repair only to have the same problem recur, it was felt that a 100W P.A. stage run at 30 Watts would be able to tolerate a heavy duty cycle. There is a large heatsink on the new P.A. with cooling fan which will be well able to cope with activity from Galway. More recently a Laptop was acquired to run the D-Star Server Software which means the set-up is now complete and ready to be placed on high spot in Co. Galway. As there are many with ICOM 9700 radios in Galway we may soo nsee more activity on D-Star
