Of course,, everyone is only after Fat Moe's beautiful sister. Even Many and Jack.

Common Moe' don't do that to yourself..

lets start with eastern states and a couple mid west states. Specifically in those parts where you find massive repeaters under a single license. I'm sure if you looks at the network maps you getter a clear picture. But know you will find many are dropping of the map recently, meaning problem is disappearing. Most likely because a 'stern' message obviousley by the FCC was deployed

in some parts of the country, it 'was' already a problem and the problem was spiraling out of control.

Oh, well it's not potentially illegal. It is!.... Now guess what.. your opinion is like an a-hole. everyone has one.. Have fun with that

Guess what,, your right.. LMAO.

you guys are drastic and scary..

you said it..

the question where we live is irrelevant. These linking people don't have the mindset to follow the rules. I guess they think, 'there is no traffic in my area so i can break the rules' Then is turns into a huge chain reaction of which we are into today..

where I live and what channels are being 'linked' around me is irrelevant.. If you want to know that information, i'm obviously a member here. Where i live does not change the FCC rules.

if you dont think complaints have not been lodged with the FCC in regards to the ongoing illegal repeater linking in the GMRS band,, you are very numb and asleep... The 'afoot' movement you speak of is defiantly part of the complaint process currently in progress.. I proudly admit, i'm one of those individuals. The FCC has already allocated space in the frequency spectrum for repeater linking. I advise you folks to move your operations over to the side of the fence where the practice is legal and also managed by experts and has rules already established. It's that simple and very easy to 'be happy'

Congestion in one area is enough.. there are a couple states where 20+ repeaters are setup for a linking network. It doesn't matter when a person lives, the fact that it is happening and beggingng to go out of control is enough at this point to stop this bandwidth hogging insanity. There are other people that want to enjoy GMRS and have no where to go..

Simply put,, there is not enough bandwidth for linking repeaters in the GMRS band while not effecting the intended users of GMRS.. The FCC has already allocated tons of bandwidth for this practice were it has rules and procedures to manage those networks.. Also the FCC requires a specialized license to use those frequencies allocated for repeater linking, which requires users to demonstrate more radio knowledge and hopefully responsibility.. I can guarantee the FCC is not going to change the GMRS rules to include world wide repeater linking in the GMRS band. Why? because they already have an allocation of frequencies for this practice known as the amateur radio. The practice of repeater linking requires a higher level of knowledge/expertise, not commonly found or expected, with an entry level license such as GMRS , . Repeater Linking requires a lot of coordination, procedures and managing skills which is well established in the Amateur Radio world and (not in the GMRS world). If the FCC even thought of changing the GMRS rules to include repeater linking in the GMRS band, the first thing they would want to do is re-classify that frequency band segment to the Ammeter Radio Band where they already have rules and process set up for the purpose of repeater linking They are not gong to re-write a set of rules to allow repeater linking in the GMRS band, knowing the practice will destroy the intended purpose of GMRS. Myself and many many many of my friends whom enjoy GMRS for the intended purpose have alreay written to the FCC opposing any attempt to change the rules permitting repeater linking in the GMRS band. I encourage anyone that does not want the GMRS band destroyed by repeater linking to do so as well. For you people that enjoy the hobby and beniffits of repeater linking, you all need to obtain and or use the Amateur Radio benefits already set up..

obviously scanner traffic is not two way communications which the FCC implies too in the rules. Like most radio bands it is not illegal to rebroadcast received one way radio signals over the internet which is currently being done by tons of Smart Phone apps. There are exceptions where you are would not be allowed to re-broadcast or even listen to to certain frequencies such as Cell Phone frequencies, Taxi Service Frequencies and a few others. GMRS frequencies would be permissible

the Nano is a must have for the tool chest, especially for the price. I tune all my antennas with the Nano before deploying and they always check out perfect on the SWR meter. Couple of friends even have use a Nano to tune multiplexers.

And you just let the cat out of the bag

To the Linking idiots. With some guys having 20+ GMRS repeaters under their belt, can you imagine the hurt on their wallets. And now these rogue linking operators will end up dealing with membership refund demands which is already starting.. I feel no remorse for these guys. Who is the big winner coming out of this illegal activity.. EBay of course and i'm sure the HAMS will enjoy picking up some good deals on UHF repeater gear.. If you look on Ebay right now, it's already starting.

Interesting enough, the GMRS rules didn't change. But merely, FCC made a decision to grab the Repeater Linking Operators by the balls and put out stern warning those activities are illegal and always have. Perhaps those Linking idiots watched to many videos that 'some people' produced, sending a message they would never be busted because the FCC doesn't enforce their rules. Hopefully more like you will 'get it'.. I can imagine EBay will be pretty busy in the coming months selling tons of UHF repeater equipment.. Thinking about the number of linking operators and the cost of repeaters and linking equipment, there is one hella chunk pf change invested in that activity. here is a good read https://natcommag.substack.com/p/gmrs-fcc-says-linked-repeater-networks-illegal

which one?? there are a couple in New York. Some operate under the disguise of Emergency Services and then require Paid Membership to participate in their illegal systems.

Are you 'some people' LMAO

Once they 'filter' out the non-complaints whom refuse to acknowledge the rules, You can BYSA the FCC will take some reinforcement actions against repeater linking.. It might be another year down the road, but yea, they will take action. Don't be missed by 'some people' that make videos telling you the FCC will never hunt down rule violators. The FCC already has a 'Hot' list of approx. 200 locations/operators of potential repeater sites whom potentially are linking repeaters. I know the HAM guys have activaley been assisting in identify these sites etc. Believe it or not, there is a huge amount of activity behind the sciences dealing with the illegal operations of repeater linking in the GMRS Bands and some are even cross linking to VHF, which explains why many HAMs are furious.

You are so far out in left field Mark. Not even worth a shrug. And what is even more comical with your comment, the SCOTUS will never ever hear a case invoving anyone challenging GMRS rules. Just the thought has me ROTFLMAO

Pretty much what they are doing.

this does 'clarify' existing rules. Pretty much spells out current rules so any 'dummy' can understand them. But of course, still going to be 'some people' that insist on making up their own BS rules. Now lets see how long it takes for the idiots linking repeaters to get the picture.. LMAO

Mike.. You are a spitting image of him
