Brandmeister sends a beacon to all repeaters every minute.? Here is a part of the log from the Canadian BM Master with the beacon being sent. 2025-04-24T00:00:32.613587-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 113649 2025-04-24T00:00:32.613712-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 208047 2025-04-24T00:00:32.613790-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 208068 2025-04-24T00:00:32.614536-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 208243 2025-04-24T00:00:32.614662-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 208267 2025-04-24T00:00:32.615041-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 228706 2025-04-24T00:00:32.615144-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302001 2025-04-24T00:00:32.615409-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302002 2025-04-24T00:00:32.615525-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302004 2025-04-24T00:00:32.615890-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302009 2025-04-24T00:00:32.616179-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302010 2025-04-24T00:00:32.616457-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302014 2025-04-24T00:00:32.616759-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302020 2025-04-24T00:00:32.617092-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302022 2025-04-24T00:00:32.617361-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302041 2025-04-24T00:00:32.617693-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302042 2025-04-24T00:00:32.617818-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302044 2025-04-24T00:00:32.617907-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302046 2025-04-24T00:00:32.618016-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302048 2025-04-24T00:00:32.618108-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302061 2025-04-24T00:00:32.618211-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302066 2025-04-24T00:00:32.618358-04:00 server01 Master 3021[1697657]: Transmitted beacon on repeater 302069 I am pretty sure that is what you see every minute.? Since I've been an admin of that master I have always seen such behavior.? On Thu, Apr 24, 2025 at 2:29?PM Joseph Giardina via <Josephgiardinasr=[email protected]> wrote:

Beaconing 24/7 is permitted outside the automatic beacon subbands ONLY IF a control operator of the repeater xmtr, NOT the network, is monitoring the actual RF channel to prevent interference.. geese why do people NOT READ THE RULES? sorry folks but part 97 is part 97. ..if you can't follow them, turn in your license and go back to 27MHz or GMRS.?

The beacon transmitted on Mototrbo systems is primarily for Roaming and that's where a radio makes a decision which repeater to use based on the strongest beacon. Similar to voting in other systems, except in a voting system, the repeater makes the choice, not the radio. We Don't do roaming in ham and another thing about having beaconing turned on, especially set to transmit every 60 seconds, it keeps the cooling fans wound up at high speed 24/7. Not to mention cluttering the air ways with unnecessary RF. We have ours off! |
Hi Guys I am Sorry my reply to the original question should have been: Check your repeater settings, so it does not beacon, WOW I got it !! Sorry I missed the post from another SL5700 user explaining what may be going on and how to correct it. Bob P.S. Chris where would you like me to go to turn in my License? I've seen a fer people pop off hot messages in frustration and my apologies to the group for trying to explain. I thought we used to Mentor people in the art or repeater building and troubleshooting.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHey Bob, don¡¯t worry I¡¯ve had my turn in the bucket. This list has some extremely knowledgeable guys on here and I know you, your background and your technical background, they don¡¯t. I appreciate their input and knowledge trust, but you¡¯re right we are suppose to Mentor one another and give grace when someone makes a mistake. Can¡¯t tell you how many times I¡¯ve responded to a post not knowing I¡¯m a few comments behind. Take care my friend, we should grab lunch at Annie¡¯s sometime.John N.
