As long as the band you personally are using is in the service you are
licensed for then all other transmissions resulting from other links etc.
are the responsibility of the control ops. If a control op is present when
this happens, this is totally legit. If a control op is not present then I
would be inclined to think that the fault would fall on him for allowing
this discrepancy to occur on his system, as long as the unauthorized access
was not initiated by you.
I would not allow such a link to be active on my system unless I was
personally monitoring the activity. I suspect that this is the case with
most systems. The way I understood this senario was that the most important
factor to you is the band you are using to access the system. In the case
of IRLP/ECHOLINK the situation may be a little more grey but if it is
advertized as a 440 repeater and it happens to have a remote base running or
other out of band link that you are not aware of, then I would not be too
concerned, simply explain to those who may tell you that you are operating
illegally that you are going into the system on the appropriate band and any
linked frequencies are unintentional.
