Joe, Might take a look at 97.105(a)..."The control operator must ensure the immediate proper operation of the station, regardless of the type of control."
Although there are separate rules for repeaters still other parts of Part 97 must be followed for a repeater as with most other Ham stations. Automatic control mainly means a person does not have to be the one keying and IDing a repeater, but there is still the requirement of a control operator being responsible, just not at the control point. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: MCH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2007/11/07 Wed PM 05:36:58 CST >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Part 97 question reference to Repeater control > >But again, the question is: Are EITHER of these required? > >Can the repeater be run strictly with Automatic Control?
