I will have to check. We have a lot of new hams that don't have much experience in trans. hunts, but it might be a very good exercise for our ARES program. Will look into that.
It's sad, as the people that first started installing the radio out here when out of business, then next group that took over has no records of the repeater locations, the next group only installs in the buses themselves and another company came in and sold them them some of the Ht's that are use by maint. and mechs. and have no clue about anything else that the correct freq. to place them on. The saga continues. Thanks Chris KE5IGO --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Gary" <n6...@...> wrote: > > You didn't mention the maintenance dept. having their own channel.
