Oh Lord....??? many, many years ago a new ham repeater was coordinated on
147.21 at a local MAJOR site.? Nobody knew that there was a paging system
on 152.21...? and that particular system was not very active... But when both
were on the air simultaneously the mix trashed EVERY UHF repeater. (well,
the 470-476? and 506-512 systems were not affected)

The public safety people were NOT happy. ? Emphasis on the NOT.?
Neither were the various commercial UHF repeater owners.?
There was no easy solution.? The final fix was that the ham system ended up
running "upside down" (147.21 in, 147.81 out) for the next 30-35 years (until
the 152.21 paging system shut down).
