This mimics my experiences listening on the band.

Well wone thing that is strange is the coverage. It isn't at all like
440, which I have a repeater on. 900 os very spotty. also, you'll
notice very very rapid flutter when talking to a mobile. Jim put up
several repeaters to reliably cover the valley. The coverage isn't at
all predictable. I could never hit anything from my house with a hand
held, although the guy who put up the repeaters said I should be able
to. I finally put up a high gain antenna and bought a spectra radio.
