What is 145.600mhz

chri

I was testing a radio early using my scanner to see what frequency it was on..

I came across these lads talking they all had a story too share

They where talking about what radio they had how many watts it was given out that type of conversation...

Any way
Who or what is 145.600mhz
Is it on the ham radio or some other two way radio..

If these people are on boards.ie

depending on where you are in the country it's likely to be the output signal of one of these repeaters.

Basically you transmit on the input frequency, the repeater takes your signal, boosts it and re-sends it on the output signal. means that you can increase the distance your signal will travel.

Any time, you're welcome.

And if you need to ask in your first post, then you aren't licenced, so no, you can't join in.
