Repeater Number Question

[WRTC928]

To make it even more confusing/annoying, some GMRS-specific radios will only allow you eight repeaters, one on each frequency pair, and that's it. That's pretty restrictive for anyone who travels at all, and even within a local area, there may be more than one repeater on the same frequency pair using different CTCSS/DTCS tones for access. "Unlocked" radios will typically let you program in as many repeaters as you want, and you can have duplicates on the same frequency pair.

I'm testing a new radio right now that lists the repeaters on channels 45 - 52 ... .I dont know what they were thinking...

I usually make light of the folks in Texas thinking they can write their own standards, but I see a certain company is actually in Missouri.  Maybe the engineers are from Texas.
