Simplex communications on Repeater Input frequencies???

[cdesigns]

467.5750      467.6000         467.6250         467.6500        467.6750      467.7000      467.7250      

So we are licensed to transmit on this frequencies and receive 5mhz lower on a repeater setup right? But can we TX/RX on those 467mhz frequencies Simplex mode TX and RX on 467mhz? I'm looking for just a little more privacy when traveling and stay away from bubble pack GMRS people

 

It should be legal right?

No. These frequencies are not legal for simplex comms.

Thanks for the info, makes sense about interfering with repeaters in the area.

Ok so if this is the case my question is are simplex users responsible to check if anyone is using the same frequency on duplex mode?

 

Several times i am chatting with my friends and i seem to hear someone else riding on my friends signal. I asked if someone want to use the repeater no answer and as soon we got back into our conversation it happends again. So i went to simplex mode and sure thing i heard several station chatting on simplex pretty close to me and I told them that there's repeater traffic on the frequency and they were gentlemanly enough to change channels but normally are the simplex users responsiblity to check before they key up? Frequency is 462.700 (No tones due to privicy and owner requset)

Some information in this old thread was based upon the old (pre April 2017) regulations.  The new regulation wording allows simplex fixed location to fixed location operation on the 467 mains as long as the RF out of the radio antenna connector does not exceed 15 watts. The new Part 95 Fixed station regulations do not limit the type of antenna, antenna gain or ERP while using the 467 mains.

Refer to 95.1763 ( c)  for the new operational content, which does not restrict fixed to fixed operations on the 467 mains -  as well as 95.1767 (a ) (2)  for power requirements of fixed stations.  Note FCC Part 95 Definition: "Fixed station. A station at a fixed location that directly communicates with other fixed stations only."   

 

*** Fixed stations operating on the 467 mains are not limited to repeater access only under the new rules  ***

I was confused about "fixed" stations before this. Also about the usage of the 467mHz repeater frequencies. Wow, its amazing how just a little bit more knowledge can create a total absence of comprehension.

If you want privacy, I'd recommend the Motorola 900 MHz FHSS gear.  It's obscure enough that nobody really uses it, proprietary enough that there's not any scanning hardware for it (to my knowledge), and if you feel clever you can get the old gear and run a mag-mount antenna.

 

What do you need privacy for, anyway?  Just don't want incessant, irrelevant chatter, or something?
