   * Where as a regular repeater always listens to the same frequency (the input of the repeater) and always transmits on the other (the output), a crossband repeater transmits on one frequency whatever it hears on the other, whichever it hears first.
+Many higher end dualband radios are capable of doing cross-band repeat (Icom's ID-5100 or Kenwood's TM-D710G are two examples).  Below are different uses for a crossband repeater.

 The crossband repeater is set up with the input frequency of the repeater without the offset.  The tone is set to the repeater tone, but the tone squelch is set to something else (I'll explain in a minute). So:
-  * Unit A transmits and receives on 446.100
+  * Unit A transmits on 446.100 and receives the repeater's output on 147.**2**20.
   * The crossband repeater hears 446.100 and re-transmits it on 147.**8**20 (the input of the repeater).
   * The repeater hears 147.**8**20 and repeats it on 147.**2**20 (its output)
