Can anyone help.  I'm new to this echo and I am wondering if differnt
frequencies are used in different countrys.  I know the MArine and aircraft 
are
the same worldwide.
Here is a list of uk allocations.
70-71Mhz   Fire services
71-74Mhz   PMR Mobiles
85-88Mhz   taxi Firms, RAC, AA
88-108Mhz  VHF Broadcast band
108-136Mhz Aircraft
136-140Mhz Gas, Electricuty. water Boards 144-146Mxz 2m amateur Band
146-156Mhz Extensively used by Police
156-163Mhz Marine
165-174Mhz PMR, Taxis, security, Ambulances etc
451-453Mhz  UHF Police pocket phones
453-463Mhz  UHF PMR  taxis, security etc.
Perhaps someone can write back with what allocations are used in their 
ountry
and also anyone with a list of their local taxi firms, etc as I have just
recently started up and I don't know where to look for what to listen to.
Also can anyone tell me the legal position of scanners in various countrys
including the UK
I am a taxi driver in Barrow In furness in England and our frequencies are as
follows.
Base  453.975 Mhz    Mobile   460.475Mhz   Duplex.
Occasionally especially on hot sunny days we pick up interference from other
users of these frequencies.  I think one is in Lancaster/Morecambe/Blackpool
area and the other is in Liverpool or North wales.
Does anyone know of anyone using these frequencies in this area?
Questions  questions  questions...... I could go on but any information is
greatly appreciated.
What are community repeaters and who owns them.  We were thinking of using 
ne
at work to enhance our radio range but don't know how to go about it or how 
much
it cost.
Finally for now.  Does anyone have the frequencies and CTCSS tones for the 
ew
low powered UHF Motorola hand helds.
