One will be the frequency that all the mobiles use to transmit to the
repeater, the other will be the frequency that the repeater uses to retransmit to all the mobiles. What you want is the repeater transmit frequency, not the mobile transmit frequency. It should be clear from the list what they mean by rx and tx in this particular case. If it isn't clear from the list, try both: - On the mobile's transmit frequency, you'll hear only one side of the conversation (or at least there will be big differences in signal strengths from different mobiles). Depending on distance and terrain, you may not get anything at all - the repeater probably has a much better location and antenna than you do. - On the repeater's transmit frequency, you'll hear both sides of conversations with approximately equal strength (provided the repeater is hearing both mobiles OK). If the frequency list is readily visible on the Web, post its URL and I'll have a look. -- Dave S "BIGSteve" wrote in message oups.com... sorry if this it dumb but i'm new to this.

This is the file i am using:

They certainly aren't specific are they?
However, it looks as though they're talking about frequencies from the repeater point of view. So start with the tx frequency. If you hear both sides of the conversation OK then you've got it right. -- Dave S "BIGSteve" wrote in message oups.com...

From what I could make out, it looks like 400 mhz frequencies with a 5 meg
split. The repeaters will normally be on the lower of the 2 freqs so the 413to 14 mhz range is what you want to program in. "BIGSteve" wrote in message oups.com...
