If I monitor 461.225 for ProMedica units, will I hear the crackle in the radios from being far from the repeater? And also, 453.125 is listed as ProMedica, what's the diff?
Yes, If you are far from the repeater you will hear some static. The base station and the mobiles/portables will have the same amount of static. Just be thankful it's not a simplex system, because the mobiles are not repeated, so you won't hear them if you are far away. In a repeater system, the mobiles and walkie-talkies are repeated. :wink:
