99 ch. MT1000 Channel Plan for 2 meter Amateur Repeaters

[ns5d]

Programming your 99 channel VHF MT1000 (146-174mhz bandsplit) with the following channels and frequencies will give you every standard 2 meter amateur repeater pair, arranged where the channel number matches the first two digits of the khz portion of the frequency.

For example: channel 94 = 146.940, channel 14 = 147.140

Channel RX TX
1 147.000 146.400
2 147.020 147.620
4 147.040 147.640
6 147.060 147.660
8 147.080 147.680
10 147.100 147.700
11 145.110 144.510
12 147.120 147.720
13 145.130 144.530
14 147.140 147.740
15 145.150 144.550
16 147.160 147.760
17 145.170 144.570

22 147.220 147.820
23 145.230 144.630
24 147.240 147.840
25 145.250 144.650
26 147.260 147.860
27 145.270 144.670
28 147.280 147.880
29 145.290 144.690
30 147.300 147.900
31 145.310 144.710
32 147.320 147.920
34 147.340 147.940
36 147.360 147.960
38 147.380 147.980
52 146.520 146.520
62 146.620 146.020
64 146.640 146.040
66 146.660 146.060
68 146.680 146.080
70 146.700 146.100
72 146.720 146.120
74 146.740 146.140
76 146.760 146.160
78 146.780 146.180
80 146.800 146.200
82 146.820 146.220
84 146.840 146.240
86 146.860 146.260
88 146.880 146.280
90 146.900 146.300
92 146.920 146.320
94 146.940 146.340
96 146.960 146.360
98 146.980 146.380
99 147.000 147.600


The only exceptions are channel 1 (147.000 positive offset) and channel 99 (147.000 negative offset).

Also included is the nationwide simplex calling frequency, channel 52 = 146.520

Don't worry about going below the advertised 146 mhz range. The radio will handle 144 - 145 mhz just fine, despite what some other posts say.

One obvious limitation for amateur use is that you must program in the PL tones for your local area, and you cannot change these on the fly. However, you can still monitor the frequency, or work repeaters that have the same tone or no tone.

Another limitation is that no talkaround or reverse is available using this channel plan.

If you can live with these limitations, you will have an MT1000 that can easily be used on the 2 meter ham band without having to carry around a list of channels and frequency assignments.
