We have an MSR-2000 on 146.745- with 2 2M remote bases and it seems to work
fine.
1 remote is a 50 watt Maxtrac on 146.970- (146.370 tx). The antenna is
about 250 feet directly below the repeater antenna.
The second remote is a 75W Mitrek on 145.450-. The antenna for that is only
about 50 feet below the repeater antenna.
We get more desense from the paging transmitters on the same tower than we
do from our own remotes.
73,
Chris, KG0BP
