For the People who are having Interference Problems on 220 , You might want to Check around the Walgreen Stores that have put up the New Electronic signs. I Have a Repeater on 224.740 and a few of the Stores if I am in the Parking lot or get within a block I have a Full scale reading on the output 224.740 A related story to this Months back a Local FD was using their simplex Freq of 153.890 at a Fire Near a Walgreen's that had the New Sign, and the Fireman could not hear their Dispatcher . An Investigation was done and it was found that the New sign was putting out a carrier on that freq . Walgreen's were notified and the Problem was fixed by some filtering , I Took some Equipment out about 3 in the Morning to 5 Local Walgreen's and the 3 that had the New Sign , I had Spurs all over the Place 130-470 Mhz . I Was also informed by another Ham who had helped with the FD Problem and He gave Me some Walgreen Contact Numbers but I never did pursue It , I don't have any users who live by a Walgreen's but they all have the Problem in their Mobiles as they drive By . I don't know if this is a Widespread problem or not but other users can check it out too and see.
