Is there a standard off-set for commerical freqs? Not simplex feer sure. thanks



I don't think there is any 'standard" offset for VHF high band commercial frequencies.

Two options I can think of-
(1)- If you have access to an older style signal generator that works in this frequency range, you could tune it across the probably frequency range until you either hear it, or see the "channel busy" indicator light up.

(2)- If you know, or can find out who it was licensed to previously, you could look up the business on the FCC website which should show you what frequencies were licensed to that business.

Just be aware, that simply knowning the receive frequency may not be enough. It may also have a CTCSS or DCS code required to open the receiver.
