Cheaper non commercial radios do not have the receiver front end filtering, as do commercial radios. So when you are transmitting to a repeater on one unit, & your 2nd unit is too close - Your 2nd unit's receiver is being de-sensitized by the transmitting unit & not receiving the repeater output. Depending on the manufacturer, a 50 yard separation should let you receive the repeater transmission, on the 2nd unit. This will not be noticed when talking simplex, as you are communicating radio to radio directly, regardless of close proximity.

The Elkhart 550 was shut off on 8.28 when the rest of the Midwest Group repeaters were unlinked as required by FCC rules. It is unknown if that repeater will be reactivated as a stand alone repeater.

Great Job Rich ! Finally An Intelligent Approach To Maintain The Required Compliance With FCC Rules. Good Stuff......
