Not at all. Transmitting the repeater ID every 10 minutes is not only legal, but
required.
It is required that you ID during and at the end of activity.
It is not required that you identify every 10 minutes when there is no activity. In fact, it is not permitted. Transmitting an ID for no reason repeatedly is a one-way transmission. It is not permissible as evidenced by FCC warning letters over the years. There are several people *on this list* that have received such warnings, and no, I'm not going to rat them out.
Your interpretation.
Nope, fact. Your interpretation is that if you don't get caught doing something that's wrong that it's fine to do it.
The purpose is that the FCC states we must ID every ten minutes.
That's not what the rules say, read them again.
Again, your interpretation. Why are you so concerned about your supposed ¡°RF
±è´Ç±ô±ô³Ü³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô¡±?
Because you're not the only repeater in the planet on the channel. Even if your coordinator gives you something akin to geographic exclusivity on the channel doesn't mean there aren't distant users that can hear your pointless ID's, or even potentially interfere with their use or reception of another co-channel or adjacent-channel repeater if they are on the fringes.
Transmitting your ID is not the same as beaconing.
I said I was going back the original subject of DMR beacons. I wasn't talking about ID's.
Until then, go pound sand.
Rephrasing: "I don't like you pointing out the errors of my ways so I'll ignore you". Nice attitude, especially in amateur radio where we are supposed to be self-policing. Clearly you can't even police yourself. You have the shoplifter's attitude of "as long as I don't get caught I may as well keep doing it."
