# If the repeater is down and we don't remember that the alternate is MC-12 we can perhaps remember that it is the same frequency without an offset and turn off offset on our radios to access the Resource NET in simplex mode.

# We can't practice on MC-12 because if we did so, we would be conducting simplex conversations on the output frequency of an active repeater and would conflict with anyone using the repeater (who may not be able to hear our simplex conversations).

Details of MC-2 and MC-12


As a reference see, Section 900.35 of NET Communications Operations and Protocols  (There are many things in this document which are outdated but the info on MC-2 and MC-12 isn't one of them.)
* MC-2 gives access to a repeater owned and operated by the Hoodview Amateur Radio Club
** The repeater's output frequency is 147.280 MHz
** The transmit offset is +600 KHz
** The PL Tone is 167.9 Hz
* MC-12 is a simplex channel to be used only when the MC-2 repeater is not operating
** The frequency is 147.280 MHz.
** Note that operating on MC-12 is operating the output frequency of the MC-12 repeater.
