Sorry if this is a stupid question.
I am in the process of setting up a SHTF box with a Kenwood TM-V71A on which I plan to use the crossband repeat function. I understand that the radio is set to announce my call sign every 10 minutes to meet FCC regs for repeaters. My question is which frequency does it announce on? If I am planning to use it to crossband into the local MCARES/ARES repeater, and that is the frequency that it is set on, will it announce also on that frequency, or is there a different one that I can program it to announce on to meet the regulations?
