I wish I had a picture of the repeater house. The frequency listed on the MTR2000 is that of the schools maint. department. The other MTR2000, hook to the other antenna, is the Schools PD. I know those for a fact. Now its time to locate the other repeater system.
The only odd ball thing I do know is that every once in a while, when a bus is talking to another bus or dispatch, you get a high squeal walk on over them, but its most likely another drive not paying attention and trying to key their radio. But I wonder if it might be the maint. since their frequency is so close to ours. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Gary" <n6...@...> wrote: > > The UHF repeater is likely mismarked or the frequency info you obtained for > your school's license is inaccurate.
