Oh yes, I do agree with you. Let's just say I can hear repeaters in EPA that require a PL, but I can't work them because the WPA repeater has no PL. I would be causing interference to a repeater in WPA when trying to use the one that is PL'd. ARCC did a good thing requiring PL!!!
ok, I am going to let this go. Won't do any good anyway...
