They have before.  Probably none of them wish to rehash this:
 

Thanks for sharing the link.

I really appreciate solid answers.

What you are demanding is to prove to you that something that is not against any known rules is allowed, like making a u-turn where there is no sign or ordinance prohibiting it. There are countless linked GMRS repeaters across the country. Ask them. 

I was hoping some of the “internet connected” folks would share some insight.

Thanks

Let me ask you this. What is your reason for posting this in the first place? What is your end game, so to speak?

My end game is to prove to me that linking is allowed.

So far, all I have found is that the FCC says it is not but no one has shown me the FCC rule that says it is allowed for anything but remote control (not carrying voice communications).

It’s a simple yes or no.

I have not dog in the fight except there are a number of systems (not saying which ones because you’re smart enough to figure them out) that link on a number of platforms (won’t say which ones because y’all are smart enough to figure them out).

I am not a troll. I’m a user just like some of you. I’ve not reported the systems to FCC. The verdict is still out, in my mind, because how can you allow remote control, ex. using Touchtone™ which is an audio tone without, de facto, enabling voice communication?

I see the value in GMRS linking over networks but my license (including other FCC issued ones) is at jeopardy, if I, ex. set up a repeater and link it to yours.

Some of y’all are pretty quick to jump to conclusions.

Simple questions and comments generally are better answered without accusations.

This has been discussed multiple times in the past.  The rules don't really say that and quoting someone from a blog don't make it so.

I’ve not seen it multiple times and it’s my blog.

I am debating about whether to join ARRL or not?
 

 

 

The League does a LOT for amateur radio, beyond QST (and other publications).

The radio insurance is a value to me.  My homeowners and auto insurance does not cover the gear as well as the League insurance does.

The League represents amateur radio well before the Federal Communications Commission and Congress.  Is the League perfect here?  Probably not as perfect as they could be if THEY wrote the laws, rather than Congress.   <G>

The League is the ONLY group with a seat with the International Amateur Radio Union.  That's important when it comes time to decide allocations involving treaties and such.

The League also supports licensing, testing, and renewals.  Those email reminders can come in handy, in the event of time to renew.

The field organization, ex. Section Managers and Division Directors, are the rubber meets the road points.  IF the League did not do anything for YOU, YOU did not use the field organization to the full potential.  (Former SM here)

Hope that helps.
