I haven't monitored 2 meter ham in quite some time - but, these may work for you.

146.940 (White Tank Mountain) is a popular repeater. Others are:
146.640 (Downtown Phx) + Auto Patch
147.240 (Shaw Butte) + Auto Patch
442.850 (Shaw Butte)
444.300 (Phoenix)
449.525 (Shaw Butte) + Auto Patch
All of the above are Arizona Repeater Association repeaters.

Avoid ARA & Superstion ARC!!
dear ray & anybody else interested! sometime ago in my ham radio life as kd7fgx! another ham went about getting me unlawfully barred from the phoenix ara & superstition arc! his call was n7twt! he's a hypocrite with the tightest broadcast standards going! yet david & his chronies don't even follow what they impose on others! even though david couldn't get my ham ticket revoked! he still managed to get me barred from the ara & superstition arc with no hope of ever coming back!!

This thread is from 2005 and btw who cares about ara and super there are plenty of other places to talk with people that have personalities and know when to wear deodorant when they are in public .. move on!
moving on??
dear radiogurl, first of all I had no idea that was posted in '05! secondly, n7twt & chronies from the ara have never left well enough alone! best I can do is to try & warn others of their evil! sorry if this offends, but all I can use now are empty repeaters & simplex & that hurts! there's no justice in this world!& sometimes the wrong side of a war wins!!

I was going to make some comments, but decided against it. I remember the 'incident' but I'm sure most people on here don't remember or never knew. I figure no use getting into a heated discussion/argument on this normally peaceful discussion board. I didn't notice the dates on the original posts and didn't realize this thread was started in 2005. I wonder what brought Thomas out of the woodwork? Oh well, moving on.....
Couldn't resist commenting on this....
Carmen and anyone else sick of repeater nonsense in Phoenix:
1) Get an outdoor antenna, Diamond X50 or better, and put it up at least 30' in the air using LMR-400.
2) Attach to 50w VHF rig.
3) Tune to 146.52 simplex and throw out your call, and if you don't get a response the first time keep trying and listening.
You will find many there who have no love or use for repeaters, and I'm one of them. I have nothing against those who like repeaters, as there is room for many types in the hobby, so each to their own.
That said, simplex is MUCH more casual and less judgmental. You will hear guys on there who have been doing ham radio for 50+ years and who have forgotten more than most repeater guys will ever know in their life. And though they are very knowledgeable, they are NOT judgmental, and will stop QSO's for a breaker, even if it's a new ham / someone they don't know. You don't have someone beating you up if you go 10 minutes and 30 seconds without ID'ing, you don't have the "clique" environment, and you don't have all of the "and now, over to XXXX...." nonsense. People just hold normal conversations, about interesting topics. Give it a try and you will find that simplex is more fun and more of a challenge too. Anybody with an HT in Phoenix can hit the mountaintop repeaters....not too exciting. But making long distance contacts across the whole valley using only your equipment and that of the other station is actually exciting.
