[Repeater-Builder] Question for the Moderators

Off topic but curious-my Google Alert for myself picks up every entry I make on Repeater builders-I belong to a number of sigs on yahoo and yours is the only one that Google finds, wondering if there is a sig setting to prevent Google from finding the posts or if it is something you like to have ha

CB Repeaters are illegal? You are assuming that the FCC is paying attention to the CB band-last I talked to them they have walked away from the band-no one is licensed, amps are used by lots of people and the FCC does not have the people or the interest to patrol the band-therefore it has become a

[Repeater-Builder] RLC-4 Controller

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Trbo to be DOA 2012 Say Hello to Tetra

Well-there are several companies which are making 12.5 KHz conversion kits for Mastr II's and other radios, where are not type accepted for commercial service but can be used for ham service, the big issue to me is that the commercial community has years to prepare for 12.5 Hz narrow banding (be

The Federal Law says only that is it illegal to divulge radio traffic to third parties or to use it for personal profit or gain (ambulance chasers), when I lived in Philadelphia in the 60’s the Phila PD used to pipe their communications into the various radio stations and TV Stations—then they p
