_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith, KB7M Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Part 97 question reference to Repeater control This is an issue that is highly misunderstood, and commonly abused. A "crossband" repeater is still a repeater and must therefore follow all of the rules for repeater operation. Unfortunately, the common dual-band mobile radio that supports repeater mode generally does not include ANY support for automatic control. So, unless you somehow provide for all of the requirements of automatic control, you MUST provide some other means of control - RF remote, wireline remote, or Direct control. Again, the run of the mill dual band mobile radio doesn't provide any means for remote control. The only option left is a control operator sitting in the car with the radio. So, to answer your question, unless you provide for the same control capabilities any normal repeater would have as discussed at length in this thread, you can sit in your car and control the radio, but you CANNOT put your mobile radio in crossband mode and walk away from it. -- Keith McQueen [EMAIL PROTECTED] 801-224-9460 On 11/8/07, Craig Clark <craigclarknh@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> comcast.net> wrote: Can anyone clarify if a radio can be used to crossband from 2 meters to say 220 or 440 under these rules? _____ From: Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:[email protected]> yahoogroups.com [mailto:Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:[email protected]> yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 12:07 PM To: Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:[email protected]> yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Part 97 question reference to Repeater control Ron Wright wrote: > John, > > Control on 144.39 is not allowed due to it not being an Auxiliary > frequency. Change that to "PRIMARY" control. Nothing illegal about control on 144.39, just that that can't be the PRIMARY control. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
