Noob question.
I have listened to and learned quite a bit so far and am getting the hang of basic programming & operation.
When entering conventional frequencies I see TAFL lists transmit & receive frequencies for repeater systems. I would assume (maybe incorrectly) that only the RX frequency would need to be programmed into the scanner but how does one determne which one is the TX and which is the RX if both frequencies are listed under TX and RX.
If I enter both frequencies am I just burning up channels?
I've read posts here listing frequencies for lets say Hamilton & Niagara EMS. When I search those frequencies on TAFL generally there is another frequency that goes along with the posted one.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about
