We have control of the technical operating parameters; see Part 97.3 (a)(22). As an example, we have one system on test coordination that has ~20 dB of desense. It can't be used anywhere with an HT, even 5 miles away & line-of-sight. If this isn't corrected by the end of the test period, the test will expire & it will revert to uncoordinated status >At least if the other repeater was on a different tone, they'd have more >"protection" from the dummy doing their repeater wrong blaming the GOOD >system for problems. Again, that's of no concern to me as a "good" system operator. I wouldn't want to make my system harder to find to cater to the lid. Bob NO6B
