Hmmm-there must be a few errors in there about the exact band segments. The first FM repeater here was a RACES machine down in the 145 segment (different rules), but the first non-RACES repeater was 146.34 in and 146.76 out, circa 1968?, next was 146.46 in and 146.82 out in 1969, right after that was 146.88 in, 146.40 out (that's right!). The .76 machine was 'whistle-up', the other two were carrier squelch. Also the UHF repeaters that I know of were 449.0-449.95 in, and 447.0-447.95 out. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
