  1. per the ULS help desk when I called them, you were correct that the family is out of luck, the license is not transferable and they must start over
  2. Has any body run across or had to deal with the death of the licensee? Is there a way to change the name of the licensee to some one else in the family? This is a new one for me. I do not see any reference to this in part 95. Thanks for your thoughts. doug
  3. ZAP "I've never seen a UV-5R that didn't have a FCC-ID number on it…I've seen some with Part 90 stickers on them however that doesn't actually matter" Just the reverse...I have only seen a couple that had valid fcc stickers....most of them have the cmiit id numbers(China). It all goes back to the "is it valid in part 95" war. While the uv5r is part 90 with the right sticker, I think part 95.655 makes it quite clear that the fcc will not approve any radio if it has ham/mars capability. But it will never stop them. And if or when everything goes south will it matter. The search and rescue group got off the freq with 24hrs of having the rules explained to them...took awhile to get all parties notified. My whole goal for the two repeaters was to get something that the backwoods families can use for ecom/comm. We are a very rural mountainous area, with many that have nothing or depend on a single cell tower. I went with Bridgecomm for the two repeaters just to get the part 95, so I would have a leg to stand on (not do as I say, not as I do) Luckly the user licensee is responsible for his/her equipment. My thanks for all of the input above, it re-afirmed what I thought to be correct.
  4. spd641 Their was no radio shop involved. Like so many people, this group uses Baofeng radios, they program themselves..(several hams involved). Which brings up if the Baofeng is liget on even their part 90 channels if they do NOT have the fcc sticker. Some of the uv5r's do some do not, depends on how they got into the country. So it depends on how you read the sticker rule. We are a very rural area...I think I may be the only person in the county that owens a service monitor.
  5. Thanks Pastor Gary Just wanted to make sure I did not miss anything. I own the repeater in question. I think they are a "casual" group working under the sheriff's office. Even a part 90 license would not help them be able to use my system. The ones that can use the local ham repeater, or they have to go simplex on the search and rescue side of things. They thought they could get by using the "sheriff's" part 90 license, and did not realize that gmrs is 95 not 90. My second machine is on order and hopefully the site ok will get here before the snow. Doug
  6. Last night I found our local search and rescue group using the repeater. They were only using their tactical calls, non emergency use. I can not find any rules that would support this kind of use. 95.5b says they can not apply for a group license, so I believe that the only legal non emergency use would require each of them to get an individual license. Am I missing something? It would be nice to help, but I do not find any rules that would allow me to allow them to continue. Doug wqub249 wb6vac
