HI folks,

TOm'
s right about not using 2 meters for this.,  Such a station is an
auxiliary station and is not permitted in the two meter band.

If I recall correctly look around 97.105, might be wrong, looked it up
a few months ago for somebody else but don't have time to look it up
right now.

For a base rig I understand that the Kenwoods such as the one the
folks call the blue light special will do this.  HOwever you have to
monitor the output of your chosen repeater using your ht but can
transmit into your remote base.  IT's not a back and forth repeater as
in transmit into it on 70 cm and come out on two then when you're
listening it transmits on 70 cm and listens on two.  THat's not
permitted and rather tough for the radio to do.

IT's a crossband repeater, that's what you're after.  YOu can also
figure that you identify it when you identify your portable station.
