[LakelandARC] Repeater Interference - Please check your radios

[Don]

Note the "AnyTone" mobile radios (50 watt) are among  those capable of 
doing this. Several years ago I did the same to another system (just for 
test) and it worked..

They also, be used,  to monitor this situation, and field strength 
levels might be use full to help locate trouble source. I am in the 
Plant City area.
