[RVRC] Fw: interference potential on 442.250

[marvin bronstein]

I failed to clarify my message to RVRC members.  This repeater has been 
placed on the air and on a frequency near the input frequency to our 442.250 
repeater. (our repeater operates on 442.250 MHz output (TX) and 447.250 MHz 
input (receive) which is only 25 KHz from this 'new' repeater which is 
transmitting on 447.275 MHz.
MetroCor guidelines provide a MINIMUM separation of 15 miles from/to 
adjacent channel stations.  This new repeater represents only 8 mile 
separation.
