The rules did state what frequencies could be used for control. It was
the same as AUXILARY frequencies. Recent changes did add 2 meters and
included 145.5-145.8, out of the repeater band. Some started putting D*
repeater in this segment thinking they could also use for repeaters.
Remote bases were legal, but still required a 222 and above or the other
2 types of control. Now can use 2 m.
Anyone can remotely control a ham station including a HF rig. Kenwood
got into problems for they wanted to use their 2m/440 dual bander. Made
it much simpler, but not legal until recently. See what money will get
with the FCC, hi. I did like the change.

Ug… forgot about the Echolink guys!
As for Control Receivers, I think I agree with Paul’s post on that.
True, they don’t transmit, but they are part of a closed system.
I’ve gotta keep Part 97 in front of me for this discussion!

Speaking of which, if I read it correctly, 2-meters is now available
for auxiliary stations. Anybody dared try it yet?
A couple of hundred EchoLink and IRLP simplex node owners, even prior to
the law change? Or anyone who was in-band linking VHF repeaters? FM 2m
"remote bases"?
All of those were doing it before it was legal...
:-) .... or is that .... :-( ???
What do you mean, "Anybody dared try it yet?" What are you specifically
thinking about when you see the words, "Auxiliary Station"?
It's not really related to control receivers, since they don't transmit.
