<div>I've got to weigh in on the part of this partaining to the repeater input. A 147.000(-) repeater is a nonstandard split. We used to use 146.46 as simplex only to find out that there is a 147.06 repeater around Shelby NC that uses 146.46 as the input. I can remember being quite upset that they were aggrivated with us for walking all over their (non standard) repeater input. Although this is a subject for different reflector, me thinks groups like SERA should cull the list of paper repeaters to free up frequency pairs so these folks wouldn't have to use the non standard splits to start with.</div>

<div>AHEM... however due to this nonstandard split where the input frequency CLEARY falls in the simplex portion of the band, I'd say the burden here is on the repeater owner to use PL tone input to protect from encroachment simpex users (and in this case 1200 AFSK packet).</div>
