I really do hate to be a burden with a bunch of questions, But I've got one more thing, my Sheriff's Department uses the frequency 159.210 for all of their operations, However, there is a remote area in the county that it's hard to pick them up on a scanner, mobile or base, etc.. Upon looking their license up on the FCC ULS Database and it shows a repeater at a location about 2 miles from the fringe area I'm talking about, However, This repeater is NOT on the main 159 band, It's totally different on the 400 UHF band, Here's the FCC link, Notice Locations 1 and 5... Can someone explain if I should use the 400 instead of the 159 for this area or is it just a car to repeater booster/relay?
This is the main SO operations channel, The only one I knew of in existance:
159.21000 154.95000 WNPR979 RM 100.0 PL Greene Co SO Sheriff - Dispatch FM Law Dispatch
ok, The frequency that I've found I'm referring to is location 5 here:

FCC says this about it:
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseFreqSum.jsp?licKey=1264471
I'm not sure what the 4.000 means.. 4 watts maybe?
Then again, FXO is what it says, It means this:
FXO - Operational Fixed - A fixed station not open to public correspondence, only for communications related to the licensee's commercial, industrial, or safety operations.
Can anyone explain if this 400 Frequency would be better then the 159 while in this area or the regular hard to recieve 159 one? Hope I've provided enough information, Once again, Sorry to be a burden, Just getting into stuff over my head I dunno about... I thought I knew everything, But I'm one to admit, I don't.. LOL
Thanks again for the help guys!!
