Unless you live near the CDN border, where 420-430 is commercial and public safety. Links here are either 433-434, 445-447, or maybe a few in 440-442, although I think the ATV guys have a claim to it. > let_cyber wrote: > >> Is 900 Mhz still useable for repeater linking, or is it so full of >> garbage that there would be problems? How about 440 Mhz? >> >> Thanks, Al KB2AYU As far as 900 goes, how much 'garbage' there is depends on where you are. Ohio has links in the 927-927.5 region, paired with 25 Mhz down. We find if you stay to the 12.5 pairs (.x125, .x375, .x625, .x875), noise is much less. --- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
