What is a common repeater frequency offset in the 70-centimeter band?
- A.Plus or minus 5 MHz (correct answer)
- B.Plus or minus 600 kHz
- C.Plus or minus 500 kHz
- D.Plus or minus 1 MHz
WhyA common repeater frequency offset in the 70-centimeter band is plus or minus 5 MHz. The wider bandwidth available on 70 centimeters allows for a larger offset than 2 meters uses. The standard convention there is plus or minus 5 MHz, answer A. The smaller values in B, C, and D are closer to the 2-meter band's 600 kHz convention, not the one used on 70 centimeters.
