Personally I would only put 52.525 and 52.49 simplex...and MAYBE 50.3 but
then I have never heard anything on there...525 and .49 are the two more
popular channes and the only two I have heard simplex activity on...
The rest are a waste in my opinion.....put rptr channels in there
instead.....I have a Midand Syntech II 320 channels with all rptr and
simplex channels programmed in it (yes including 50.3 and others!)...the
ONLY other simplex channel I have EVER heard users on, for the 10 years I
have had the rig on 6, besides 525 was 52.49!

BTW heard K2GG? In FL on 52.525 tonight....was sitting in the mobile in the
driveway and talking to KC5ZZB across town on 525 simplex.... Band popped
open for a short while and then closed up...we were on 525 for about an hour
and that was it
