It would appear to me that the above use of the term "coordination" is a misuse of what is a term of art. In the context of Part 97, "coordination" applies to coordination of repeater freqs, and compliance with such coordination is mandatory. ALE and Pactor freqs are not "coordinated" as that term is used in Part 97 to my understanding. de Roger W6VZV
