So from what I gather from all that replied, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart BTW for the multitude of information. So a Maxtrac one VHF and UHF will do the trick? I was looking at some of the setups on eBay that have two mobile radios (mostly Motorola) with a duplexer hooking the two radios together. Does there not have to be some sort of controller for it to work as well? Has anyone used this sort of setup and had it work the way it should? I have done some research and gotten lost in the shuffle of info on the net hence why I joined this list to get a better understanding of what it takes for repeaters to work but to also have the space I need to be able to have the van used as a command post as well. Thanks for all the help and keep the emails coming! Dakota

I have seen the VHF Low Banders in use ( 47 Mhz. ) for Red Cross Comm. I seen several units in service, so far I have not heard any complaints, and in the Radio Room for the Amateur Club during a Emergency Exercise the Midland was on NEF 47.420 Mhz. and there was dispatch calls coming in on 45 Mhz. for Transportation and just the usual desensing occourring. a Maxtrac is a very good investment.
