RE: [Repeater-Builder] 3 minute timeout. FCC regulation or myth
I have a 220 Repeater and a 440 Repeater Set at about 5 min. I think if a Repeater is Supported By a Club it is up to the Members as to how long they want it. I was on a Repeater last Week in the Chicago Metro area The timer was set for 30 Seconds, I could not believe it but was Told it was a Large Coverage repeater that was used for Hams going to and from work and that way Everyone got a chance to talk on the way Home., I don't think it is a FCC Rule except that it must ID Every 10 Min during use . I have some very long-winded users but the Repeaters are low profile and No club or dues, so I encourage the Long and often QSO. The only Problem as Some of get older by the time it gets back to you. We forget what the Heck we wanted to say or what someone else was talking about. That is why it is Converted Old Motorola Micor Continuous Duty Equipment. , Some of it Custom Made by the Owners of this Group. I think if a timer is Set for the only Reason of a couple of Min to protect the Equipment Then it Should be built Better to be a real Repeater. Happy Repeater Building Don KA9QJG
Re: [Repeater-Builder] 3 minute timeout. FCC regulation or myth
The 3 minutes comes from the FCC requirement that should your control device fail the repeater shut duwn within 3 minutes. That's in Part 97. Joe M. Marty Schultz wrote: Hello all. I help to maintain the repeaters of the ham club I belong to and had a discussion with one of our rather older crusty member concerning the three minute timeout we have on our repeaters. On one occasion after he timeout one of our repeaters for about the third time (he is long winded) I said something like I wish I could extend the timeout but the FCC wants the three minute time out on repeaters. He answer back that it is not a FCC regulation but a standard that develop over the years to prevent someone from being too longwinded on a repeater like himself. I spent some 20 years in a two-way shop and we always had nothing longer than three minutes timeout on the radios we program. We do newsline and rain on our nets and have the timeout temporary disable for them but I think that is permissible if you have a control operator standing by? Looking at part 97.213(b) for Telecommand of an amateur station they talk about provisions to limit transmissions of no more than three minutes in case of equipment failure. My interpretation is that would apply to repeaters also. Not looking for ammunition to battle the fellow with but more to satisfy my curiosity and to know what is what. Marty, N9PPJ

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 3 minute timeout. FCC regulation or myth
I was just thinking, in public safety the typical transmisssion is much less than 10 seconds. 30 seconds would be long, an 60 seconds almost unheard of. 60 seconds should be adequate for almost any amateur radio 'shared repeater' operation. If the OM needs more time, make a short pause (maybe see if there is something important needing to be broadcast), and then resume. This is more a good operating technique than anything to do with rules, kind of like not carrying on QSO's on a calling channel or monitoring both frequencies when trying to work Scarborough Island split on 20 Meters 73, Steve

Hello, I also remember the 4 minute TOT's in the Motorola paging stations! My Boss wanted them left in so I did, was not two months and we had to send the local tech out and pull every one of them!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: 3 minute timeout. FCC regulation or myth
Good question! Nowhere in Part 97 could I find ANY reference to either ID or timeout requirements for repeaters (SPECIFICALLY for repeaters). I did, however find the following re: timeout § 97.213 Telecommand of an amateur station. An amateur station on or within 50 km of the Earth's surface may be under telecommand where: (a) (b) Provisions are incorporated to limit transmission by the station to a period of no more than 3 minutes in the event of malfunction in the control link. Definitions: (41) Telecommand. A one-way transmission to initiate, modify, or terminate functions of a device at a distance. (42) Telecommand station. An amateur station that transmits communications to initiate, modify or terminate functions of a space station. Also found: 97.119 Station identification. (a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a communication, for the purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign, any call sign not authorized to the station. Nothing about timeout though. Perhaps a friendly E-Mail to Riley asking if he'd bust you for it? In any event, a 3 minute time out timer is simply good practice and might save an expen$ive final.

The MT1000 VHF/UHF Instruction Manual is part number 6881067C40 and is about $20. If the Moto ordering drone is correct I got the last one.
