Go to the www.fcc.gov http://www.fcc.gov/ web page and search there. They
are bound by law to post all nasty grams there and are available for the
public to view.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, the FCC web site enforcement listings only go back 10 years,
and IIRC, it was WELL before that.
Seems to me it was in the early or mid-80's.

I am not getting any error message at this time and I am about
90 % sure it is a version 1 as you said. Also Mike has asked me to call him for
some information and I will do that. I think I told everyone earlier that I did

Ok, if you are not getting an error messsage, then the repeater should be in
lock.
You only put the repeater in program mode when changing firmware.
Just do the best you can with the voltages on the VCO. Maybe you should call
Kenwood Tech support.
Did you say that your repeater was a 146-174mhz

Same thing I'm thinking. It really doesn't fit the definition of
'broadcasting' or 'beaconing', but it's definitely a one-way transmission.
Just trying to prove a point to someone less-informed!

Yet Amateur Radio repeaters can legally transmit 24/7/365 (literally)
and would then be required to put out and ID every 10 minutes...
Note that this was not always the case - the requirement that repeaters
cease transmitting within 5 seconds was removed from Part 97 in the 90s.

I hear a repeater in the area that Id's a lot but it is also carrier squelch
and the squelch pops a lot 24/7 and that probably caused this one to id a lot.
It does not seem to be at a regular interval and some days are worse than
others. Nevertheless it is id'ing on its own without a carrier
It doesn't have to be 'recognizable' (at least I never saw any such
wording in the rules). The key is that it's not IDing on its own - it's
being triggered by a signal on the input.
I use CTCSS on my repeaters (most of them) gated by the COS, so I hear
almost no IDs. Hence, they don't bother

Nope. I saw that one too and it piqued my interest, but the one I'm thinking
of was just a simple violation of the 'speak when spoken to' philosophy.
just a repeater sending it's callsign every 10 minutes whether active or
not.
When I find it, I'll wonder why it took so long1
Thanks es 73,
This example seems to be more of an interference issue as opposed to
broadcasting but I remember I had the same
feeling when I saw the original FCC response.
