148-174 is the common VHF high band. It is commercial and public safety, especially fire (USFS, CDF, most CA counties, and many cities for mutual aid)... These repeaters should be easy to find, and could be made using two VHF mobiles, but you will need licensed frequencies, even if you use easy licensed itinerent frequencies which you will be sharing with commercail users, like taxi cabs.

Now, that segment is military, marine weather use. Larry remembers the MstrII's and Mocom/Micor stuff that is floating around amongst hams, that we had to modify to get 'em to work on the ham band. Call Cal Crystal to get the right rocks, too! If it needs to be a reapeater, there are other possibilities of surplus gear...

You might have better luck if you direct your question to a commercial two-way radio list or group. jack Larry Feige wrote: >Mike, > >You may have a problem with an Amateur repeater...
