I saw this in the Facebook group for one of the linked GMRS repeater systems:
What rule in Part 95E gives a GMRS repeater operator the legal standing to prohibit someone from using their repeater? If someone is prohibited from using a repeater, what rule in Part 95E would the prohibited person be violating if they transmitted on the repeater's input frequency? Is there any precedent for the FCC telling a GMRS licensee "you can't use XXX repeater"?
So, I'm curious about where this might go aside from local and state laws about unlawful use of property, electronic harassment, etc.Just to let everybody know, the xxxxx Repeater is completely shut down right now. I’ve contacted legal counsel and I have an attorney working on a situation to remove somebody that’s not supposed to be on there when I get things handled, the Repeater will be brought back up but for now I appreciate everybody’s cooperation. Thanks.
