        Mobile channels START at 221.000 Mhz and Base Station channels         
        START at 220.000 Mhz. They both are 1 Mhz. wide and include 200        
        channels.So a repeater would have to have a split of only 1 Mhz.

        Channel 1 is located at 220.0025, channel 2 is located at 220.0075     
        and so on.(for the base) This is a very uniform band compared to       
        others so finding the split or other trunking channel will not be      
        a problem BUT what will is the mode of operation as this band was      
        not set up for conventional FM as the normal business band that        
        most people are use to and you will find things like ACSB,sideband,    
        and other modes for thransmission that take up less band width.
