The standard offset is 1 mhz. Our repeater in Jackson, MS is 53.470 with a minus offset, and a 77 hz pl. Give it a try when the band is open. I don't know if anyone is using a plus offset on 6. I don't do a lot of 6 FM, and when I do, it is usually on our local repeater. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs
