[SEDXC] KD4QMY - Ga. Power Smart Meter???

[W5JR - Mike]

My Sawnee electric meter uses 940 MHz commercial frequencies. The transmit of the meter is on 901 MHz, standard -39 MHz offset for this band. Not sure how they are going to get it to talk to their repeater as I'm noisy on VHF, UHF and 900 repeaters with talkies here at my house.
