[FedCom] 163.9875

Thanks Bob,

    Was going to mention on that one as well.

Even on a Portable Repeater [Suite Case] atleast 3 mhz is needed.

That's really interesting.  Ordinarily a greater separation is required 
between the input and output frequencies in order to prevent the high 
powered repeater from covering the input signal it's trying to hear and 
repeat.  The repeater receive site would need to be quite a distance from 
the transmit site for this pair to work well.  Also, isn't 163.8375 normally 
the input to their portable repeaters with outputs on 167.5375?  (I may be 
wrong about this last.)
