While the Chicago area might very well have elected to have a different bandplan than the ARRL national, keep in mind that when you travel OUTSIDE of the Chicago area, the ARRL bandplan is usually in effect. I don't know specifically if Dayton is an exception on not. Most likely it is not. By the ARRL national bandplan, 1288-1294 MHz is an ATV subband. The FM simplex band is 1294-1295 Mhz, with I believe 1294.5 as the national calling frequency. >In fact a few years back there was a portable repeater on that >frequency in the Arena....although not a QRM problem... That might have been a bad idea as well. There are probably a lot of frequencies you can use outside of the usual simplex subbands that would not cause any problems. But should it be the case that someone is in fact trying to use ATV on 1288-1294, then your FM signal might crunch their picture without you even hearing it in there due to the distributed nature of an ATV signal. BTW, the ARRL national bandplan for FM repeater pairs is: 1270-1276 MHz in 1282-1288 MHz out and of course a lot of areas will be different. > Cheers > Kermit W9XA Maybe you can tell us what the bandplan in the Chicago area is. -- /***************************************************************************\ / Phil Howard -- KA9WGN -- phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu | Guns don't aim guns at \ \ Lietuva laisva -- Brivu Latviju -- Eesti vabaks | people; CRIMINALS do!! / \***************************************************************************/ ------------------------------ End of Info-Hams Digest ******************************
