yes it is.

it's in the 'wide open' now... I myself didn't think it was this bad.. WOW

Interesting, i was able to tie those owner/operators together using my kml database. Another area with multiple repeaters under one license. I told you this was getting way out of hand.... and this is why i object to it.

Aren't some sooo lucky.

What, you want me to say in a tone. "oh child, you did so well, you got all the answer right' is that tone better.

going out on a limb is the risk taken and lesson learned (hopefully).. You can use RF technology in many ways to defeat the purpose of intended use.. I'll never be 'that guy' to stretch out on a limb, especially after well served clairfication came into play.. And i would be very hesitant using anyone playing with the FCC rules to touch any of my LMR/Public Safety radio business. I believe you left a word out in your last sentence, you should have said "yet there is a definite need for intelligent RF guys in that field"

Not sure where you are coming form or tying to say.. Kind of reminds me of watching an individual in a 'debate' a little while back.

Yea marc,, but are their several of them???? There's one right next door to me that has reached 160 miles and i use it all the time. His has a void where mine can hit 80 miles in that void. Linking them together would create a very awsome coverage of area, but we never even talked about it because we know what the rules imply. Take a look at the spread sheet i posted.. Some operators have massive amounts of repeaterss registered and you have no way of knowing if those multilble operators are forcing up.. Get the picture? I'm sure that's the picture the FCC was seeing.. Did you tell your son to listen to orders, i gave mine a 101 book on telling people of 'F' Off in a polite manor.

A party to the owner/operator or maybe even a 'partner' spoke. And we heard the 'inside dope' that resulted in shutting down rogue linked repeater operation, i don't think there was any 'hearsay'... He was pretty clear what transpired. A few facts we do know.. There was a rogue linked repeater system in operation and it linked across multiple states., the operation undoubtedly hindered normal operations of GMRS for other users, the FCC spoke to said owner/operator of rogue linked repeater operation advising they will not tolerate operation and gave specific orders to shut it down, owner/operator took action and ceased operating linked GMRS repeater operations. Other then the 'inside dope' we heard, your are somewhat right, we don't know the complete detail of conversation owner/operator had with the FCC For all we know, they could have discussed where they can buy tickets to the next Taylor Swift Concert.

Just trying to give a pep talk.

you better get busy and sue the FCC... sounds like you got it under your sleeve. Don't roll em' up or you'll loose your tactics.. Stay tough, show em' 'you da man'

Well Marc, then i challenge you to open a linked repeater system, better yet do it across multiple states and wait for a response from the FCC. We all saw Notarubicons video(s) (thank-you notarubicon) and i'm sure we all conjured the same conclusion. The FCC took acton against the illegal use of linking repeaters and it appears the message was acknowledged by those operators and many of us here in the audience. . If you want to argue the legal aspect of what they did and how they did it,, take it up with them or even hire and attorney and take it through the course.. Pondering this forum is not going to change the FCC's actions. I still believe the FCC will follow up with some updated clarification in the GMRS rules and i don't think they will waste much time doing so. I may be wrong but common sense tells me they should because they need to settle the confusion. Or just maybe, they'll leave it left alone and will turn an eye on small scale use, which would prove my theory of allowing some small scale experimentation.

The FCC has spoken,, that's how. And they have done so many times just by mere fact that many on this forum have confirmed they spoke with someone at the FCC and received confirmation by them that Linking is prohibited. And the FCC has even addressed this at many public forums. It's possible the FCC left some vagueness in the rules in regards to Linking to allow some very small scale of extermination hoping it would lead to advancement into HAM radio. But it's clear that repeater linking has gotten way out of hand and hurting the intended users for GMRS.. If you want to enjoy the world of repeater linking, one should get into the HAM world where it is managed by a large group of people with very good success. Not a bunch of rookies that have no regard to the bandwidth and areas they hog. I've been in situations where multiple linked repeaters have effected my use of GMRS and its irritating as hell.

a few people here struggle with the FCC's Definition of GMRS. It's possible the FCC left some of the rules vague to permit some very small scale use of linking etc for learning purposes hoping to entice a graduation into HAM radio. But Linking defiantly has gotten out of hand and it is hogging up tons of bandwidth and area. Its not fair to the intended user and even worse it's not right and even against the rules to use GMRS for any monetary purpose. Even if you are simply paying club dues. Sorry, but you linker guys need to explore the HAM radio world where repeater linking is organized and very well managed..

Obviously it is not legal. I knew it.. Many of us did.. I'm not out to take advantage of anyone or anything Carry on,, Follow the rules.

we will have to wait and see.. But we know one thing,,,, Linking tons of repeaters is not going to be tolerated and rightfully so. .

Ham Sandwich ???

as vague as you want it to be to promote your own actions.. It's pretty clear just by mere explanation the FCC established for GMRS uses. Many (mostly back east), took advantage of the rules by establishing their own rules by their own interpretation. Even after many months ago the FCC clarified the rules. ( a few videos are floating about showing this). The FCC is obviously reflecting the rules by recent actions and I'm pretty damn sure we will be seeing a revision in the rules in short order so 'some' people' actually get it.

become a paid member and get it yourself. LMAO.. You'll have to do a very small amount of work to get the KML data into a database format.. Excel will do it for you and should only take about 20 mins. I recommend using the Excel Table Formatting tools. Have fun. BTW,, it's about time these 'non compliant rogue' Linked repeaters disappear.

did you listen to the first video. He admitted they were multi state.. and i can clearly see it on the kml database. And the database reflects paid membership on some of the repeaters.. not all but some..

Linked across states, i.e. New York, Penn. I'm kind of thinking Carolinas too.... Or at least what i can see from the other side of the country. It' pretty easy to figure to what the fCC is after... 200 members can create quite an impressive cash flow.. illeagly

look on the data base, preferably the KML version so you can sort them out. New York, New Jersey, Penn and the Carolinas have quite a few. New York tops out. Some of these guys have double digit repeaters scattered within a small area and they are using every available repeater ch..

I think the trash is a better place

the ones that crack me up and piss me off or the operators hiding under the REACT blanket and in Paid use status..... (not all but a lot) clearly opportunists at work.
