you hope the 2 repeaters have different curtacy tones as most do, that's how
I do it with my radios that monitor 2 bands at once anyway. I don't think we
have 2 repeaters in this area with the same curtacy tones anyway. Simplex,
well I'm not sure, my radios that do that are HT's and where I live an HT on
simplex is about as good as talking on 220 these days, do what you want, no
one will hear you anyway.
