how about one repeater but different tone codes?
or the repeater is at some other location.

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.
