[K3CAL] Weather SAME alerts and club repeater

Here is a link to the Club ? or group that appear to supports several
repeaters in North Carolina. They seem to be very active in RACES and 
ARES. 

http://www.carolina440.net/

Scroll down the page to the section titled SAME Weather Radio Alerts (Raleigh System)

The alerts they transmit are...(from the website)............

The SAME Warnings are:  Tornado Warning,  Flash Flood Warning, Shearon-Harris Alert, Radiological Hazard,  Civil  Danger, Missing Child Statement-Amber Alert, Required Weekly and  Monthly test......... 

If the system is set up correctly with the right equipment there should not be any interference 
with ECOMMS. With the correct configuration the ability to mute the SAME system and/or
manipulate it as needed should be available at all times.

It does not sound like the current CARA repeater equipment can accommodate this at this time. ??
with out giving up some control ??

 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.
