I know I should KNOW this, but I just can't "bring it forward", as I USED to know and when I read the explanation, it confuses me...... I'm talking about the designation Fx1. Can someone explain it in more simple terms? My brain is having a hard time this morning wrapping my mind @round this. :-(
Now, the reason I ask, is some "agencies" use these Fx1 frequencies as mobile "talk-@round" or "scene" frequencies to prevent from tying up the main repeater or base
frequency. Is there a "remote reciever site" that feeds the mobile's audio back to the
repeater at the main location?
I'm building a "Quatro 10 spreadsheet" that will list all the fire, police, ems, hospitals,
and other government agencies for a 150 mile radius from my Qth in Shreveport, LA.
I'll use this to program my scanners to "monitor" those frequencies durning a Skywarn
or "emergency" (train derailment, chemical fires, explosions, etc) call-ups. I'll have an
antenna up, high enough, hopefully, to hear a lot of these agencies. Small town fire
and police units report in to their bases about tornado sightings, long before the "News"
gets the reports. To me, this would be helpful in reporting this news to the locall NOAA
Wx Office here locally, even if it IS out of their area of responsibility.
Thanks in Advance,
Respectfully,
