One is a VHF repeater with UHF link radio, the other is a UHF repeater with VHF link radio. These are useful for various purposes, an obvious one being off-air linking between sites. Another use is where it is necessary to have separate nets on the same band but without mutual interference. Solution: set up the repeater a little distance away from AWI and use the link frequency to connect to AWI.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class="">I have updated the spreadsheet I developed some years ago, attached.
