We believe that members of the Commission review posts in the forum occasionally. IP addresses and hosting company details are visible to the staff. Therefore, until such time as the Commission will publicly clarify their definitions, in an official update, GMRS operators could potentially accept that Fixed to Fixed voice communications, following the protocols in 95.303, 95.1763 sub c and 95.1767 sub a 2, are permissible as long as encode CTCSS or DCS does not cause local repeaters to activate. As with all such communications, operators should use only the amount of transmitter output power and ERP to reliably communicate under your set of circumstances. Recommendation from the Staff: If you personally research all official available Commission information and choose to use the 467 mains, fixed to fixed, PLEASE research active repeaters in your area and choose frequencies that are not in use for repeater input operations, as a courtesy to others. FM modulation capture effect could block repeater operations for some users. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_effect We hope that the Commission will address the vague definition situation soon and be very tech specific in any future rules amendments. Disclaimer: It is your personal responsibility to read and interpret current FCC Rules and make up your own mind as to how to operate your communications equipment, based upon the best information available.
