[K3CAL] Weather SAME alerts and club repeater

Wed Jul 1 09:16:00 EDT 2015

Right now this is the only controller that will work with the Yaesu DR 1X with a  lot of out modifications to the controller this one was made for the Yaesu.

If you look at the controller and things that are needed for the Yaesu you will see you can get a piece of equipment that allows you to have ports the ports are inputs to the repeater. It can be other receivers, weather stations, etc. anything you think of. So you can have a weather station and just punch it up when you decide you want to hear the alerts or the current weather.

Part 97.113.5c does address this directly, we could retransmit government originated messages. In this day of idiot lawsuits who would sue us first when the bulletin didn't come out in a timely fashion saying we endangered his life. I actually looked into this last night when this thread stated and I think it would be possible to make it happen through echolink. I am with Bill here, just because we can I do not think we should. We have a meeting Thursday, if someone wants to bring this up and discuss it by all means do!

However ,Part 97 :  Sec 97.113  does cover this and its only occasionally not for full time dissemination.

Part 97 : Sec. 97.113 Prohibited transmissions 

  _____  

section  a  item 5 

section c   

I think its cool however on our main repeater I feel it would hamper E-COMMS ...

My 2 cents

And I thought it Was against the rules to rebroadcast a one way transmission.

Well...  it actually does some magic on the repeater side.  It actually takes
priority over the repeater transmitter.  Also, by having it as a remote base
you lose your ability to control it (shut it up) while it is transmitting.
Other than those two things, no, there is no reason why it has to be attached
to the controller.  It does simplify things, though.
