[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Cross band repeat function

[ka4gfy at cox.net]

TMARC asked that we share the following with our club members concerning cross band repeat operations:

The cross-band repeat functionality in many of the VHF/UHF amateur radios these days can provide a useful function in a number of scenarios. However, a number of cross-band repeaters have shown up using un-authorized repeater input, un-authorized repeater output, or the national simplex calling frequencies (52.525, 146.520, 223.50, 446.000, etc.) This practice interferes with repeater operation and mis-uses the simplex frequencies. Also, please remember that proper station identification is required per FCC Part 97.119.
