On the Sebastian County page, Greenwood High School is shown to have a repeater with an output of 151.9550 and an input of 151.9900. Not only is 151.9900 a non-standard channel in the VHF bandplan, but this would be a split of only 35 kHz – basically impossible at a single site. The current license (WQBI282) shows simplex operation for a base and 40 5-watt mobiles (presumably handhelds) on 151.7150 and 151.9550 – no repeaters. Can someone local sort this out?

151.955 is also licensed for 25W fixed base, as is 151.715. I don't see the 151.990 listed on their license though I do see where it's listed as the input in the db (possibly in error).
If I was going to try to monitor them, I'd put in 151.715 and 151.955 and see what I heard. One is the jr high repeater and one is the high school repeater, I would guess based on their 25W allowance.

I live in Greenwood, AR. I don't hear anything on 151.955 or 151.715. However, there is a repeater for Greenwood school bus operation on 157.6200. The input may be 153.7475, but I'm only guessing on the input.
Perhaps you can listen during the school day? I'm guessing you might hear the base and maybe the occasional weak handheld, depending on your proximity. That is, no repeaters retransmitting the usually small amount of handheld traffic.
WREN870 suggests a repeater on a ~100' tower on a ~1000' hill near a water tank south of town, with an output on 152.36 and input on 157.62, with 50 50-watt mobiles (presumably buses) and 5 5-watt mobiles (presumably handhelds) licensed to transmit on the repeater input and "talk-around".

The 152.36 repeater output is licensed for DMR only.
Thanks for the info. I will monitor these frequencies closely, including the ones you mentioned earlier. I will reply with results.
