hi there i was wondering what is the input freq, for the cougar MT repeater,
146.980 i just need the input freq,
also the king county SAR 145.1100 i need the input freq for this repeater too.
The 2 meter band has standard repeater offsets so most input frequencys are easy to figure out. The input frequency (what the user transmits on) is 600 KHz away from the repeater's transmit frequency (what the user listens to). Most amateur radios have these offsets already preset so if you tune to 146.98 MHz, the radio knows that this frequency has a negative offset and will set itself to transmit on 146.38 MHz. There are a few frequencies that could go either way (such as 147.00 MHz) and the repeater listing will indicate if there's a + or - offset (you'll need to configure the radio to match manually).
