"Channel 2" Repeater

Post by ConstableCare »

Hello,

Just wondered if it's my scanner settings or is the Perth Channel 2 Amateur Repeater causing massive interference tonight?

My scanner keeps locking on about 10 different channels with the worst being 146.700.

Anyone else having problems or is it my setup?

Cheers, CC 8)

Thanks for the info guys. For a moment there I thought my scanner had gone wrong on me.

As for the channels - sorry, force of habit for some :lol:
