Problem is that they are licensed for 3 freqs. 2 UHF and 1 VHF and I have confirmed that they are running on all three of them. Its just know a matter of cat and mouse on the third repeater location. As there is no one that works here anymore that knows where the radios are all located expect the 2 at the high school football field.
In fact the bus repeater as listed on its license is supposed to be located right in the middle of the intersection of a state highway and a US highway that runs through our town, while the GPS listed on the same license shows it to be about 20 miles south of that location in the middle of a cow pasture. Will keep seeking, thanks for the help and input.
