Interesting.
The 170-172 MHz frequencies are Forest Firefighting and Conservation Channels.
Scroll down to (c) about halfway down the page Electronic Code of Federal Regulations:

The 173 MHz frequencies are commonly used for telemetry and SCADA and usually have a 6 kHz bandwidth limit and require directional antennas.

The term MVRR is new to me. Could you explain what the purpose of the device is? Mobile extender?

Exactly.

NIFC, FBI, USFS, BLM, DoA, US Capitol PD, US Navy, BP will [hopefully] fight this one. And that was just looking at the first 5 frequencies post.

Put them in the under-used 220 band that was taken from Amateurs. :wink:
