70cm Repeaters in Sweden / Conflict with LPD Devices
The Swedish 70cm repeaters are (in most cases) in the range from RU368 (434.600 Mhz) to RU398 (434.975 Mhz) for the output. The input is 1.6 Mhz lower (that is, shift is –1.6 Mhz). For this reason LPD operation is not allowed in Sweden (probably suiting the radio amateurs) as the LPD channels are in conflict with the repeater channels, as shown in the table.
| Swedish 70cm repeater frequencies | ||
|---|---|---|
| Channel | Repeater input | Repeater output |
| RU368 | 433.000 Mhz | 434.600 Mhz = LPD62 |
| RU370 | 433.025 Mhz | 434.625 Mhz = LPD63 |
| RU372 | 433.050 Mhz | 434.650 Mhz = LPD64 |
| RU374 | 433.075 Mhz = LPD1 | 434.675 Mhz = LPD65 |
| RU376 | 433.100 Mhz = LPD2 | 434.700 Mhz = LPD66 |
| RU378 | 433.125 Mhz = LPD3 | 434.725 Mhz = LPD67 |
| RU380 | 433.150 Mhz = LPD4 | 434.750 Mhz = LPD68 |
| RU382 | 433.175 Mhz = LPD5 | 434.775 Mhz = LPD69 |
| RU384 | 433.200 Mhz = LPD6 | 434.800 Mhz |
| RU386 | 433.225 Mhz = LPD7 | 434.825 Mhz |
| RU388 | 433.250 Mhz = LPD8 | 434.850 Mhz |
| RU390 | 433.275 Mhz = LPD9 | 434.875 Mhz |
| RU392 | 433.300 Mhz = LPD10 | 434.900 Mhz |
| RU394 | 433.325 Mhz = LPD11 | 434.925 Mhz |
| RU396 | 433.350 Mhz = LPD12 | 434.950 Mhz |
| RU398 | 433.375 Mhz = LPD13 | 434.975 Mhz |
With two LPD devices, one set to LPD1 for repeater input, the other set to LPD65 for repeater output, it should be possible to work via a RU374 repeater.
The 70cm repeaters in Stockholm have +1.6 Mhz shift (date of this information: summer 2005). There is at least one repeater (Kungsbacka) which has -2 Mhz shift.
