[WSWSS] Ilink Repeater in the SSB portion of 2M in DM04

Mon, 6 May 2002 07:28:31 -0400

(Second send on this msg; 1st one may have gone out prematurely)....
Use of a rptr  I/O below 144.5 is ILLEGAL under Part 97.....If they try to qualify it as a remotely controlled simplex li=
nk, it MUST be radio remote controlled above 222.15 MHz....and other rules apply...evidently someone has NOT read the rul=
es....get with Riley..your problem will go away quickly..
Is this a simplex IO or a duplex rptr???

Dear Members,

It appears WB6ZKC is now running an ILINK repeater on 144.255 using FM. This repeater has been in use for about a week or=
 so and is listed as a node on the ILINK server. It is also possible for those in the San Fernando Valley to hear this re=
peater by listening to 144.255 or using the ILINK system. When it was mentioned to his users that they should consider a =
different freq. for their link, they responded that they never heard the SSB while in FM mode and has no idea as to their=
 existence. It has been nicely explained that they cannot receive SSB signals on an FM only transceiver. I am bringing th=
is to the groups attention because I have noticed increased FM activity in the SSB portion. 

73,

Brian, W2BRI
