I am not sure about opening a legal discussion on CB but here goes.
I pretty much have interpreted the existing rules on CB/FRS/GMRS regarding the linking of those services via telephone. I interpret this as being internet too, even if it doesn't specifically say internet, but I am sure judges would consider linking by internet the same as phone, since the regulations were written pre internet, but the intent would remain the same.
Anyways, enough about that. A previous thread regarding GMRS got closed when talking about this subject so let's stay on track and respectful.
Here's my idea and feel free to assist. The current rules actually allow linking via phone if you have an operator on the transmit side monitoring the conversation, but every place mentions transmitter.
What about rcv only. I see that there are one or two cb channels under other on Broadcastify. I can't see there being any problem with this.
The town 12 miles away has an active cb club on a local channel and I was thinking about setting a live feed up.
Here's my biggest question, I would like to do this mainly since when talking to town 12 miles away I get extreme static from the Power Substation and high lines. My transmit is fine but the receive sucks. It's only in that direction I get it because of my close proximity to this substation and the high lines going in and out. I have tried everything and the only way to minimize it is by dropping my RF gain which kills my ability to hear the mobiles in town. I have another RFI filter coming and if this doesn't work I give up.
So what would be wrong with using this rcv only (scanner) set up in town 12 miles away, being streamed into either BroadCastify or even a teleconferencing VOIP. while I am talking to town. (Yes, I know I would have to have my volume on my transmitter all the way down) Besides, I would just be monitoring it to make sure it's working. The fact that I am talking on the same channel 12 miles away would be completely separate.from my "scanner live stream". There's going to be some delay time I am sure but I can work around that. This might be a gray area that I am exploiting but that's why I made this thread.
It's not a transmitter, there doesn't seem to be any restriction on placing a cb channel rcv only (scanner) on Broadcastify, and it's well with in the range limit. I actually hear the conversations already. Just looking for a way to clean up the received signal once in a while.
Either way I think it would be a cool thing for just the cb club and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with putting a scanner (rcv only) of a cb channel up.
