First off chill the attitude thank you...Second...Amateur Radio repeater you know ''Ham Radio'' yes I am license yes you can run my callsign ''N4CYA'' via QRZ.com you'll see my information..And last it wasn't business or GMRS don't care to use it anyways. To be honest it was NB9X saying I couldn't use Mototrbo or use any Motorola radio on a ham band but b/s yes you can other ham operators around the states using them check YouTube.
The attitude comes because a lot of fools pop up and try to use radios in places they don't belong. And that certainly includes guys with amateur call signs.
Second, had you explained that it was Ham Radio, you would not have heard boo from me. Read your own original post again and think about how it looks to others. You know all the details, we don't. Without the whole story, you can expect people to misunderstand you. And to call you out on it.
Third, in the ham world, you are absolutely correct about both Mototurbo and Motorola radios in general, but without knowing that you are talking just about ham usage, we are left to our own conclusions.
Last I knew, ham radio was a gentleman's (and ladies) world with lots of courtesy and cooperation. Two observations, now that more facts are on the table. First, if it is a privately owned repeater and the owner doesn't want Mototurbo on it, he's got a right to say so. In the same courteous vein, you ought to go along to get along, and just use Mototurbo on a channel where it won't ruffle anybody's feathers.
And, to your credit, if the idiot doesn't know and understand that Motorola or any other brand is OK to use on ham bands, he doesn't deserve his ticket. If that really is the primary issue, you have the right to stand up and say so.
But, as I pointed out, when you tell others about it (especially across the net), you need to tell enough of the story for people to understand the whole situation.
