The issue you point to of CW being allowed in the voice band is a bandwidth
issue. That has nothing to do with repeater sub-bands.
You can call the frequency ranges (where the FCC allows repeaters)
a defacto band plan or any other term you want. What it means is that
a person could use 146.52

In lots of areas, there are no open 2 meter repeater pairs.
Yes, and there are plenty of open repeaters sitting there idle. Go use one
of them.
Suspose all repeater owners decide to go closed and not let any new hams
on the system.
I don't think I'll lay awake nights worring about it
Hey Tim, I was lucky and got 14 UPS batteries from a change out at work, all
260 AH! and all good, they just change them every year for safety. But they

OK, let's see if you understand this explanation...
The only place on 2M repeaters are not allowed is in the satellite and
weak signal sub-bands. From your theory, FM simplex, packet, and any
mode other than satellite, weak signal, and repeaters are the only modes
that should be operated on
And who made 2M the only repeater band? Just like HF - if all the
frequencies are used, try another band or wait for something to open up.
Also, many areas have SNP pairs where anyone can put a repeater on the pair.
Oh, and what would happen if 'all' repeaters went closed? I would make
mine
I have a Kenwood TK-760-1 Mobile, a KMC-9 Deskmic, and a SEC-1223 power supply
to trade for one set on my pair.

Thanks for the wisdom and information. I will digest this over the next several
days and when I can I am going to apply it.
I have what I feel is a very good service monitor with tracking
generator/spectrum analyzer. I have access to an Anaritsu site master. It has a
return loss
But that is not always an option. We have some repeater owners/trustees who
simply are not mentally stable.
I've seen trustees shut repeaters down because of the following:
1. People were talking about guns.
2. People were talking all night.
3. Someone allowed his child to talk on the repeater.
My views on this:
#1 - If you want a closed repeater then you should get a private
repeater pair coordinated in an appropriate private-communication pool.
will happily assign you a private repeater pair for a reasonable price.
Plain and simple. Amateur radio is not a replacement for a cell

Good point on GMRS, Jacob. I have a GMRS license that I use with
family on road trips, etc. I have considered putting up a GMRS
repeater as well, but know there's not enough users to really warrant
the work, so I stay with my 70cm amateur repeater.

I'm going to throw out a question to all:

I'll grab a reply to Don and Larry together:
We do have PL coordination in Kansas. There are recommended
frequencies for different regions to make it a bit easier, but there's
still a lot of stuff out there where I think the hams used whatever
reeds their surplus gear came with, etc. OR

WPA has standard CTCSS tones (and CDCSS codes), but use (decode) is not

Thanks Mike KC8FWD
Eric,
Why is a quarter-wave shorted stub impractical at 2m?
I have been told that a quarter-wave shorted stub would serve two purposes:
a) provide a dc path to ground for static caused by precip or wind, and also
b) substantially reduce the strength of a transmitter's second harmonic.
