Kris,
I think the issue for aux stn is that there is a tx in the system and
the rcvr is the designated end of the transmission.
You are correct the receiver does not need coordination. The freq of
the tx does not need coordination, but as with a repeater if it is
coordinated it has interference rights over one not coordinated. Really
don't see this as much of an issue except aux stations can also be used
to remote a station; 2m to HF rig. Aux stns can be used to remote a
station for normal operation and this is point to point comm.
In the case of using an aux station for control purposes of a repeater
obviously the tx is not at the repeater unlike the rptr tx. The remote
tx is being used to control the repeater tx.

This says it all. A control link for controlling a repeater by radio
is an auxiliary station. Also in 97.201 the freq coordination for Aux
stations follows similar to repeaters. If interference the
coordinated aux station has preference over non-coordinated.
I really don't want to split hairs further, but there is a thought here
that occurs to me -- the FCC does not require recievers to be licensed.
If you are using the "control link" as a recieve-only radio... What
coordination would be required? Is it an auxilary station? If the radio
doesn't transmit....
