It's an exclusionary rule (where it cannot operate).
If it existed in the rules by itself, yes. The fact is you also have 97.201(b), which permits auxiliary operation in the 145.5-145.8 segment. >SkyCommand is Auxiliary operation (and only that as confirmed by the >FCC), ...but it repeats (automatically retransmits) communications onto 2 meters, as you've clearly indicated. How could it not also be a repeater? I see no point in continuing this thread. We just agree to disagree. Bob NO6B
