one of the freqs is aways 153.83

the other freq is a UHF FG channel - apparently either 487.3875 or
460.6125 or 465.6125

Rehab 5 and Georgetown FD have 2 of the crossband repeaters - not sure
who has the other 2

they are dispatched on all 2nd alarms

we have never heard them mentioned or used

2024 SOP

if everyone in Essex County has dual band radios now - then these
crossband repeaters are not needed

FCC designation for these reoeaters is either MO3 or FB2T afaik - not
sure what the difference between those 2 are - maybe FB2T can have a
higher antenna
