I'll see if I can find out about the color codes. I think a repeater will pass more than one, and I think you DO program that part... but not sure. They're only using one here. http://www.rmham.org/mototrbo.html There's another guy with one on the air here also, but he hasn't updated his website yet... > How many color codes are there, and how would I know if someone were > using the repeater who is not authorized? I believe there is a Windows client (if the repeater is connected to IP connectivity) that one can monitor with. I'll ask the guy who's running one locally. I would assume that Moto would have to put some method into the repeater to BILL for time, like "call detail records" in telecom, but who knows... that may be a 3rd party developed package... p.s. I have a feeling he might jump in here and clarify next week. He's at IWCE this week, but he is a list member... it's Mike K7PFJ. Nate WY0X
