[Waverley ARS] National Simplex Call Channel on 2m is 146.500

[Eric van de Weyer]

Hi Binu,

It has been since the mid 70s when the new band plans came into being.
Previous to that there were 3 simplex and 4 repeater channels. The simplex
were A (145.854, B (146.000), C (146.146) the repeaters had inputs on 146.1,
146.2, 146.3 & 146.4 and originally had their outputs 500kHz lower on 145.6,
145.7, 145.8 & 145.9 but these were later changed to 146.7, 146.8, 146.9 &
147.0. 

You'll note that the simplex channels were 146.000 and the two channels
146kHz lower and higher. This all stemmed from some standard crystals that
were available and gave those frequencies, I believe, remembering that
synthesized gear did not exist back then, in fact, most 2m gear was ex
commercial 'taxi phones' and valve.

Regards....Eric.
