[NINN27]

im sure this has prob been asked and answered before, so i apologize for asking again. can someone explain to me the diff between "input" and "output" in the conventional DB's? for example



INPUT: 123.4567

It all depends what you want to hear.

These are repeater frequencies.
Generally you program the output.

As was mentioned, these are repeaters. The input is where nearly all units transmit - the portables, the cars, and sometimes even the base stations. The output is where the repeater retransmits the signals it receives on the input frequency so that everyone in range of the repeater can hear them. As was said, program the output and you will be fine. The input is of little use to scanner users.

BTW, this question was answered on the board last week.
