GMRS repeater linking and the FCC

[radioopperator]

In LA the FCC had a HAM box that was running so illegal 20 miles from their office!!!!! They new all about it. The FCC attitude was for over 30 years. Let it run because most (ALL) the illegal ham problems were confined to that one place and it still runs today! and the FCC in San Diego closed and the FCC in LA all but gone! Everyone retired and not replaced. Soon AI will replace them. You hear the hams all *****ing about GMRS and the funny thing in the gmrs rules forever say only 10 code accepted! So why are all the hams going on GMRS and calling 73's and qsy and so on? Thats against the rules.

thing in the gmrs rules forever say only 10 code accepted

Please provide the rule number in Title 47 that says this.

Please provide the rule number in Title 47 that says this.

Rule number 10.4.

I do think that having the ability to link up repeaters via VoIP or other means would be beneficial.

How is this beneficial?

Uhh, there are a number of people who staff the Cerritos, CA office. How would AI replace the FCC?

Welcome to the new generation of Citizen's Band. It's gonna get out of hand and become useless, too.

Fcc said 30 years ago they were working at removing repeaters OFF GMRS but there was no set date in stone! FCC reads posts from mygmrs.com daily and bases a lot of decisions on what they read.

It was in title 47 since before the 1980's through over 2000 I believe?

What big wigs? I just saw Lark a week ago and didn’t get any indication the office had downsized.

The FCC told you 30 years ago that repeaters are going away on GMRS?
The FCC reads myGMRS.com and bases decisions on what they read?

Both statements are laughable. Please cite your references.

In other words, you can't cite any specific rule that says what you claim.

Sometimes showing the ignored posts are good for a laugh.

or 26.62 (anyone remember that freq?)

That was a CAP freq wasn't it ?

I miss the days of being able to call Steve directly and getting things done.

Same could be said about the Detroit Field Office.

Irby Talent, and James Bridgewater, (Field Office Chief Engineers), were very responsive to "problems", and now that the field office has closed, pirate radio is up, non-hams are on the ham bands, and GMRS is sounding like 80 meters. So much for the Tiger Teams that would fix things.

It's also "disappointing" to hear good ops talk about vigilante tactics against the malcontents.

Wahh wahh wahh... Diaper time again. Never ending tears from people that are not paid by the FCC. Not your jobs, stop being wannabe radio cops.

Wannabe radio cops, the loud whackers of airwaves moans.

They're generally the same ones trying to shame others into doing what they want with inane empty threats of prison time for playing music, farts, or generally being a lid. What they end up doing, is showing themselves to be massively larger (and apparently illiterate) lids then the ones they want to silence.
