Forget about the ARRL bandplan, it's the FCC rules that matter.
Code of Federal Regulations Title 47 Part 97.205b: "A repeater may receive and re-transmit only on the 10m and shorter wavelength frequency bands except the 28.0–29.5 MHz, 50.0–51.0 MHz, 144.0–144.5 MHz, 145.5–146.0 MHz, 222.00–222.15 MHz, 431.0–433.0 Mhz and 435.0–438.0 Mhz segments. "
So, 145.670 is flat out illegal for a repeater input or output.

There is a repeater on 145.670 (D-Star) in the Dallas area https://w5fc.org/tag/fsq/
It makes using XW-2A nearly impossible as it is right in the passband.
Who in the world thought it was a good idea to put a D-STAR repeater (simplex) in the middle of a satellite downlink passband?
Does this comply with any existing ARRL Band Plan, on other words is this a shared resource with D-Star? If so, I guess it's just tough luck and live with it. If not, perhaps someone from AMSAT can have a word with the Trustee?
