[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Cross band repeat function

[Arthur Pond]

TMARC touches on a good point.  It is easy to setup a cross band repeater
with many current radios.  It can be difficult to do it legally.

Subject: [Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Cross band repeat function

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.
