I wonder if someone could give some help or advise, I'm picking up Skip on our fire repeater, Output on 154.445, Input on 151.025, The only thing I'm seeing close is Tennessee or Missouri and They're a ways away, It's an EMS Paging Channel, There was a page Then EMS call to Apartment 2 for 52 year old female possible stoke. Any ideas?

You need to be clear about this question.

1. Is this "skip" being repeated on the output from the input or are you just hearing the skip on the output?

2. What PL or DPL are you hearing on this if it is heard on the output?

3. If this is coming through the input what PL or DPL does your repeater require on the input to repeat?

In addition to what is already posted above...
google maps or Bing for the address using various States that you suggest, that should narrow it down.

I'm not sure what the repaeter input PL is, I do know it's on 151.025, But I don't know the PL, The ouput is 154.445 PL 107.2, I'm pretty sure it's our repeater rebroadcasting the signal therefore it would be picking it up on the input 151.025, Which would have to be the output of the signal being recieved. I searched for the frequency in TN, MO, and AR with no luck, There was one In TN way over there, I thought about google maps but I didn't hear the street clear enough to make it out, Just what I provided, I only heard it about 15 minutes last night, Enough to hear one tone.. It was a dual tone too. That's all I know, If I hear it again I'll provide the details, I hear skip on 156.225 PL 100.0 all the time but it's out of Mississippi, I've found it already, On 154.445 Sometimes I'll Hear Poplar Bluff Missouri Fire On Our Pagers But Not On Radio because the PL tone of 146.2 is used and is different, But this last night even picked up the signal on radio's.
Then Again on Our Other Channel 154.190, 154.145, Hospital EMS 155.400 we'll hear Shelby/Tipton County TN but not even the 151.025 or 154.445 come back to them, We use 154.445 for a repeater output and also for talkaround to by pass the repeater so in order for the repeater to rebroadcast it has to be coming in on 151.025 which puts this being the output on whatever is coming in.

I did a RR DB search on 151.025 with a PL 107.2 in the USA and the results are below.
This is only the RR data and not the FCC data so you will probably have to do a lot more
research. The fields below do not line up very well but I think you get the picture.

Ok, Thanks! I don't think it's highway, It was a fire/ems call, I'll see what I can do or wait till I hear it again.

Is there any chance that because of enhanced propogation you may have heard some other repeater with an output on 154.445 and a PL of 107.2? I ask because I just read another post somewher ein the forums where somebody was asking whether a fire and/or ems paging frequency of 154.445 wiht a PLof 107.2 was still in use in IN or IL somewhere (I think cubn was posting about it).

So perhaps you not hearing someone on the input of your repeater but instead you were hearing the output of another repeater that just happened to be using the same output PL as your repeater? I know, what's the likelihood? But a possibility that you may not want to overlook.

I wouldn't have thought so but yes, It's a GOOD possiblilty, I've never heard such thing before but tropo works in weird ways, It's possible.
