Continuing on - The FCC database only "cares about" transmit freqs. The FCC database does not "care" about receive freqs.
So the typical listing for the Boston PD looks like this - 460.50 FB2 465.50 mobiles 465.50 FX1s Here the FCC is trying to say that there is a repeater that is transmitting on 460.50. The FCC is also telling us that there are mobiles, portables, and fixed stations transmitting on 465.50. Most hams and radio men would say that the repeater has an output freq of 460.50, and an input freq of 465.50. (Sometimes people say that 460.50 is the downlink freq, and 465.50 is the uplink freq - which works for me unless the repeater is in a basement or tunnel - then those terms are a little muddled.) OK?
