Pick a clear pair and go for it. The FCC is the only authority than has a word to say in the end. If you do interfere with someone just work it out like the ladies and gentlemen we are supposed to be. Paul Yonge wrote: I've not been too successful in convincing the various Upstate New

Steve et al: The various amateur repeater coordinating groups have no official FCC authority or mandate to control spectrum or issue repeater pairs. As a practical matter, however, the FCC will almost always support a coordinated repeater over a non-coordinated one in matters of interference.

Paul, When you push for a wide-spaced portable repeater pair on 2m, suggest a separation of at least 3 MHz. The reason is that you can buy compact base station duplexers that are specified for 3.0 MHz spacing, but the performance rapidly deteriorates as the spacing is reduced below that point. I
