Are you trying to register using wsci776? Earlier you were trying wsc1776, which is definitely wrong. Call signs are four letters and three numbers.

I would do as @LeoG said, turn off the linking and keep the repeaters up unlinked. Then, with no possible violations present, have a lawyer contact the fcc enforcement department to find out if they sent an email.

How long do you wait for something that might never come.

Except for the last sentence I fully agree. And I admit that the last sentence is a possibility; I just don’t know enough about the situation to suggest it as the motivation.

Scammers count on that level of fear to avoid getting caught.

Exactly.

I think several of us are waiting to see exactly what really happened. I haven’t heard of the FCC emailing someone telling them to shut down a repeater before. This sounds more like someone running a scam. You did nothing wrong.

Where would the additional pairs come from? Any petition would have to solve that.

I don’t use repeater networking on gmrs, but I know that for DMR each node has its own ID number. There are different networks with Brandmeister being the largest by far. But in order to prevent conflicts all of the ID numbers are doled out by a single clearinghouse. So my brandmeister ID isn’t a duplicate of one on MARC or Western States DMR network. That also allows gateways between the different networks.

Thank you. How does a person selectively connect to another node? DTMF?

Okay, but how does it apply to GMRS? Our conversations still cannot be individually routed or muxed. There’s still just one conversation per channel, audible to everyone else within range. How does this benefit us?

Sometimes things are called by different names and it’s easy to miss them. These were called “Side buttons” in the table of contents.

That’s what I have also.

I’m glad you posted this explanation because I thought your other post implied that Randy posts BS. I’m glad to be wrong.

About an hour ago I posted the manual pages showing the instructions.

Start on page 82 of the manual.

No, it’s a forum. Feel free to ask. If it’s something that would have been easily found in the owner’s manual you should be prepared to be teased.

No, I haven’t. Personally I wouldn’t use something like that. I was just trying to respond to your query. I would find or make an internal coupler that would fit between two tubes like scaffolding couplers. I use a Spiderbeam 12 meter telescoping fiberglass mast to hold up my efhw antenna wire. I also have four sticks of chain link fence top rail that have a swaged end that fits into the next. I would only put a couple together rather than try to stack all four. They will be used for vhf antennas.

You missed the previous post which explains the voltage limitations of the duplexer (??) I don’t understand the limit. The duplexers I’m aware of are not powered.

Someone using the built in scrambler in some inexpensive radios will sound like they’re on the wrong sideband. It’s really just inverted frequencies.

That’s just how it works. You copy the url from the browser address and you paste it in your post. Then you click on it and you click on the next page arrow to follow it to page 3. I could have used this link instead: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/amateur-radio-service/amateur-call-sign-systems#vanity-call-signs

No. Existing networks have either primitive routing (everyone goes for the ride) or no routing. It’s more like a one to many relationship.

You’re right. I stand corrected. From page 3: Note: You cannot receive a vanity call sign from a call sign group for which your operator class is not eligible. For example, if you are operator class T (technician), you can only receive call signs from groups C & D. https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/amateur-radio-service/amateur-call-sign-systems#:~:text=There are up to three,)______" will be dismissed.

I’m not a member so I don’t know if you are required to request access after joining the club and receiving the tones, but I would not expect that to be the issue. It sounds like you’re on the right channel and you’ve double checked the tone. The only thing left that I know of is as you mentioned in your original post, getting closer. Once you are closer, when you hear traffic, try listening on the input frequency and scan for the input tone.
