No problem Gary, I was just curious. Where I am located though it is a lot
easier to put something on 440 because it hasn't been all used up yet and we
do have some mountains around which help prevent to much interference
towards NYC.

Hey Guys,
You can always put up a repeater on 220 or 900 or 1296.
We are having lots of fun with 900 MHz. and yes you can even use a Master II
for a repeater. Lots of radio's for 900
Maxtrac's, Spectra's GTE's and even Johnson and Kenwood's.
Have fun!

The reason some manufacturers include fuses on the Negative lead is for
those installers that run both Pos and Neg directly to the battery of a
vehicle. This is not a smart move as normally you create a ground loop in
the negative system of the vehicle and usually end up with Alternator Whine.

The latest re-write of the FCC Part 97 rules do not dictate that you have
to add ANY /R, /L, or / anything to repeater or link transmitter
callsigns. Just a plain callsign is fine and less than 20 WPM if using CW
ID's ( Tone modulated FM in FM repeaters).
