Re: Trunking

 

In regard to the Case #2 argument, I agree with Joe.? If a user IDs at the end of 10 minutes, it doesn't matter to the FCC if it gets repeated or not - YOU are ID-ing for YOUR station on the frequency you are operating on. Same as if someone "doubled" with your ID transmission. Requirement satisfied.

Now, with regard to trunking, the system selects the frequency each time you let-up, so unless the radio transmits your callsign with EACH TRANSMISSION, you can't comply with the 10 minute requirement.? I have a trunked HT that I use on my county's system, and when I first power it up, I transmits 4 or 5 times as it "acquires permission" to operate on the system.? Who knows what frequency/frequencies it uses when doing that, and I might not need to call in right away...

Now, back to conventional repeater systems -- along these lines, if your radio is equipped with something like MDC1200 that squawks your *full* callsign every time you un-key, is the 10-minute ID requirement satisfied, or do you need to vocally ID as well?

Isn't the same true of EVERY repeater?

That said, the control op is not responsible for "ensuring"
the ID of the user radios - only the repeater(s).

If you are using a repeater, YOU are responsible for your IDing.

You made a lot of good points, but ended it with a bad argument.

Case in point: If you drive through a valley out of the repeater range,
and you ID your transmitter at 9 minutes, that satisfies the legal
requirements EVEN THOUGH that ID never came through the repeater.

Case #2: IF you are using a repeater that has CTCSS access, and you ID
yourself without CTCSS, you satisfied your legal obligations to ID even
though the control op of the repeater never heard it.
