I believe WRPN896 and I heard the same net (Sunshine Net). Dave was probably confused.

The FCC does not license ANY repeaters, whether GMRS, Amateur, or Commercial. Repeaters are all operated under the license of a person, group, or commercial interest.

WX4E, for example, is a callsign allocated to the Charlotte Amateur Radio Society, a non profit group. 'CARS' operates repeaters under that call sign, but the call sign is allocated to the club, not the repeater.

The FCC does not allocate GMRS call signs to groups or businesses (anymore), so all GMRS repeaters are operated under the call sign of the owner. 

 

True But Dave is the Repeater Trustee so it falls on he's callsign also true but he did make it seem not possible to Obtain though my local VEC even asked ARRL about it they heard nothing so if I want to be legit about it I could always contact the FCC about it but seems like it's falls under the Repeater Licensee instead of the FCC.

I heard this morning on the net that the FCC does not allow newly Repeaters is this 100% Correct?
