Yes it does. There are no mods for FRS radios to put them anywhere other

Ok-but I don't know how you did

Basically here's what I've been using during tests:
Vertex FTL-7011 as transmitter
Advanced research preamp
Radio Shack FRS Cat # 21-1811 retuned as receiver(not
very selective)
Controller is homemade. Found COR from FRS and fed

You DO know that

I don't recall seeing the frequencies that this repeater is running.
How do you know what they are?

Jim..
That is an ASSumption.
How do you know that that radio won't drop into the ham band?
Give the guy the benefit of the doubt...

Because it's an FRS radio-channels are hard-coded into the controller.
They are ALL like that.

Apart fro the other comments about what frequency it's
on, my 2 suggestions to minimize desense would be to
TOTALLY shield the receiver (bringing in the antenna
connection, of course), with a feedthrough cap on the
power line, and getting the antennas on the same
pole/mast right above each other,

I'm glad to see a lot of you are interested in doing an
interactive type repeater construction project. Some of
you already have potential and/or available equipment in
your hot little hands. Many of you have already done this
type of project and we
