Although I think most coordinating councils do a good job, they do here in Florida, I really do not want the council telling repeater builders what equipment to use. They come up with the most stupidest and crazy ideas every once in a while. The policies are decided in a board room, nice and air conditioned often with lots of certificates on the wall from 10 minute courses.
As long as they follow tested coordinating procedures it makes it easy for them to decide good coordination. But when it comes to technical issues I don't trust them. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: George Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2007/09/01 Sat PM 11:17:49 CDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: subaudibe tones.. > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[email protected]> >Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2007 5:35 PM >Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: subaudibe tones.. > >[snip] >>> >>>You guys have control of the quality level of the equipment used when >>>issuing coordinations? >> >> We have control of the technical operating parameters; see Part 97.3 >> (a)(22). >> > >CORRECTION: 97.3 (a)(22) says "recommends", NOT "establishes" technical >parameters...
