we have had repeaters on the air in the past and Motorola has put a repeater in town with the same Freg. time and time again. It is a common thing just happen last year to a repeater we have in TN. new repeater 20 miles away same Freg.
don't get mad over it, just the way it is.

I believe your talking about about 2-repeaters in the same town? Cause I do know that frequency coordinators do set the same frequencies on repeaters within a 200 mile radius, which does cause interferance with the other repeater. . . .
