I have seen it in the past that a repeater would come in from Motorola on the
wrong freg because the rep ordered it wrong then the service made the
corrections and that could be your current freg.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Motorola MTR2000 Question
Here's the deal, I work for a local school district, I have been kind of
thrust into a temp. communications specialist position while we obtain some new
buses and working with the company that will be adding the new radios to them.
Over the last few weeks, we have been trying to determine the location of our
repeater. The place were it is listed on the FCC license paperwork does not
exist. I know, I am pushing them to get it updated. But that is another story
all together.
I do have access to a "radio house" located at our high school football field
and it has two MTR2000 in it, plus two different antennas. One connected to one
radio and one connected to the other.
One radio is marked with the description of KISD PD, which is our police
department for the district and has the following frequency pair listed on it:
VHF: RX 173.325 DPL 331 and TX 158.385 DPL 331
The other radio is marked the following:
UHF: 451.725 / 456.725
There is no documentation with this equipment, the person incharge of them
originally left the district some years ago and no one knows anything about
them, expect where they are located, as far as these two boxes go and what
frequencies that have listed.
Which brings me back to our department, we can find out repeater located
anywhere physcially. Our repeater pair is listed as:
UHF: 451.750 / 456.750
That is according to FCC, repeater listing and other information I have been
able to obtain and by listening to it on a UHF amateur radio to see which
frequency they were on.
That being said, it is possible that the MTR2000 that is marked with the one
UHF frequency, might actually have both pairs programmed into it, but only one
can run at a time, right?
Is there a way to find out if there is more than one frequency is programmed
into the unit and if so, how might we go about that? Another reason I am asking
is that we might be upgrading our system in the very near future and I might be
able to get my hands on these repeaters.
Thanks in advance.
