and in an emergency, out-of-band operation is permitted,
right? NO

Why not run more repeater offset ? The further away you are the more

Here in SoCal we have a special portable 2m repeater pair coordinated
- it's 144.93 out, and 147.585 in. That's over 2.5 mhz of offset, and
you can get just over 3 mhz if you use 147.99 as your input.
This brings up a very interesting point. IN A GENUINE EMERGENCY,
why not run a huge split, say 145.000 input, 175.000 output. I
realize the output is out of band, but MARS mods are widely
available, and in an emergency, out-of-band operation is permitted,
right? One would want to preselect a frequency where interference
with other emergency use is least likely, I also realize that not
all HTs have a wide-band receive capability, but lots do.
