Frequency Question

[_DeS_]

Hey Guys,
New to the hobby, had a quick question. I was going through the canadian TAFL looking for local frewqs, I noticed that some listings had the same for Tx & Rx only reversed....I was curious why ?

Here is an example...In the following format: Tx Rx Location Name

160.305000 161.145000 GLACE BAY RAC/ACFC
161.145000 160.305000 GLACE BAY RAC/ACFC

2 Seperate listing jsut reversed...Any help would be appreciated...Secondly I cant recall is it the Rx freq that is programed in the scanner or vice versa.

Thanks agian.

Ship to Shore. Ship on one freq, Shore on another. Just like cell phone.

It means that they have to have opposite frequencies in order to hear each other. They tune each radio to receive the other's transmit frequency.
