Re: RC-210 and SLR-8000 PL Inhibit
Not at all. Transmitting the repeater ID every 10 minutes is not only legal, but required. Your interpretation. Again, your interpretation.

Re: Using HF rig or 6M repeaters
Totally agree with Jeff WN3A recommendations. I own several radios that operate on 6M, Kenwood TS-690, TS-2000, Yaesu FT-991A, IC-7300. They all provide good audio when audio enhancements are set with

Re: RC-210 and SLR-8000 PL Inhibit
So, you're admitting that what you're doing is wrong, but as long as nobody complains then it's OK? If you have continuous activity (USER activity) for 18 hours straight my hat is off to you, God

Re: Using HF rig or 6M repeaters

Re: RC-210 and SLR-8000 PL Inhibit
So, you are going to monitor the frequency 24/7 and testify that something didn¡¯t key the repeater to trigger the ID? Of course you aren¡¯t. The FCC requires we ID every 10 minutes when the

Re: RC-210 and SLR-8000 PL Inhibit
I'm going to jump in between. Have you ever heard of "Part 97"? You may want to read through it, especially the parts related to repeater operations. I don't have a problem and I have known of the FCC

Re: Using HF rig or 6M repeaters
Depending on the brand/model of HF rig, some have the audio processing active on FM mode and some do not. Also, a few of the models are 2.5 KHz deviation, not 5 KHz. My Icom IC-7000 has three filter

Re: RC-210 and SLR-8000 PL Inhibit
Every single one of our repeaters ID either by voice, or by CW every 10 minutes except from midnight until 0600. On our repeaters that utilize CTCSS, I do turn it off during the ID because the

RC-210 and SLR-8000 PL Inhibit
Our club's VXR7000 died, so we upgraded to a loaned SLR-8000 (good to have friends in low places) to get us back on the air. Luckily everything came on as programmed and I couldn't have done it better

Re: Using HF rig or 6M repeaters
Turn off the processor. Some older radios have one mic gain as a knob adjustment. The level for SSB is different than FM. A cheap SDR watching the audio spectrum and zoom in on RF spectrum can assist
