Here in southern New England where the 900MHz band has flourished in the absence of a 70cm network. I have not been personally involved in putting any of the repeaters on the air, but I can tell you that the split is pretty even between Pl/DPL. Not sure how it will work with a 800 to 900MHz conversion most of the gear used around here in intended for 900MHz use (mostly Motorola equipment). Best advice I can give you is www.gemoto.com they are the driving force behind our 33cm movement and have lots of technical knowledge. 73, Jeremy KB1REQ
