Ok, for the longest time, I've heard of talkarounds, where mainly LE when they have a repeater, they "talk" on the input frequency I believe it is.
How exactly does this work?
Let's say for a LE the system is 453.650/458.650.
The way I understand it, the radios will normally talk on 458.650, that output will be put into the input of the repeater, and everyone will hear the traffic on 453.650.
Now, when they use the talkaround, 458.650, what stops it from going into the repeater? If they are talking on 458.650, wouldn't the repeater notice, or on talkaround mode, does the power get lower and the repeater can't detect it?
Also, what I'm confused about, is Simplex frequencies, I was told you can't pick them up unless you're close, yet I was told that "Dispatch" monitors those frequencies. How can they pick them up, if you can't?
