469.975 MHz. The repeaters operate 5
MHz lower than the base and mobile
units (that is, 451.025 to 454.95 MHz
and 460.025 to 464.975 MHz). This
means that if you find an active fre¬
quency inside one of these spreads,
you can look 5 MHz lower (or higher, as
the case may be) to find that radio
service.
Frequencies in different bands are
accessible only at specific intervals.
However, the frequencies that you can
store into your scanner’s memory are in
5,12.5, or 50 kHz steps. Your scanner
automatically rounds the entered fre¬
quency down to the nearest valid
frequency. For example, if you try to
enter a frequency of 151.473, your
scanner accepts it as 151.475.
