I don't see a lot of overlap here. The "little guy" still has 4 channels or more. https://w8cmn.net/mi8/

You are just vocal about linking because it offends your "technological sensibilities". The co-channel issue can be mitigated by simple CSQ activity timer on repeater RX and transmitter lock timer out added to the linked repeater. This is a proven technology and done in Part 90.

GreggInFL Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 1 hour ago, WRUE951 said: 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' Oh, I'm wide awake and completely get that it's potentially illegal. I'm suggesting that perhaps it shouldn't be illegal.

AdmiralCochrane Posted August 23 Report Posted August 23 Without some kind of repeater coordination like ham does, uncontrolled, unrestricted GMRS repeater linking will eventually become a problem. The only saving grace is the practical fars. But once every repeater channel has a linked repeater on a 199 1/2 ft tower ... Be careful what you wish for. Lscott, WRUE951, marcspaz and 2 others 4 1

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 MaxHeadroom 1

The thing I hear the most is "you're not a real Ham if you don't know CW." And my favorite is the guy on the repeater saying "I only operate on CW.", but 10 minutes before that he was (on the repeater) bragging about making 3,000 contacts on FT8 last night.
