I'm new to this site so I hope I'm in the correct place. I have a Lafayette Guardian 7000 multiband radio from 1973. I got it when I was 17. Amazingly, it still plays like new. Its been in daily heavy service since 1973.
I have a UHF band question, it covers from 450mhz to 470mhz. I used to be able to listen to the local police which broadcasts at frequency 471.5125 which is higher than the band on my radio, but somehow I received it for years. Now there's nothing there...but they are at the same frequency. There used to be a repeater near my home. I think its gone. Would that have transmitted at a lower frequency allowing my ancient UHF band to still receive? I have another(slightly newer) radio that covers 450mzh to 512mhz it picks up the police fine. I'm just trying to understand what happened. Again I hope my post is in the right place.
