Given your situation and only two users on the system, you may want to consider something in the family radio services or other none licensed radio services, I think they are called something like FMRS and GMRS. You will never get a commercial license for a repeater with only 2 users; remember commercial 2-way is for business use only, not ham type of chit-chat. Unless your in an extremely remote location commercial 2-way licenses are almost assured to be sharing a commercial freq pair with other users, exclusive use of a freq. went away 20 years ago unless your a governmental or life safety agency.

OK, I do have a ham license and the repeater is going to be for just two users me and my wife who doesn't have a license for ham right now. Thinking about Commercial service and the upkeep would be done by me so its not really going be making any money per se.

Well having an understanding of repeaters is one thing. Being licensed within a service that allows you to put up a repeater is something else. Unless you are a ham radio operator putting up your own repeater (and you have the funds to support this) or a club repeater which the club will support you may want to think about the business end of this. Supply and Demand. What is in your area and Who's going to use it? How much will it cost to provide the service ? How much income will it provide ? (can it pay for it's self ? and your efforts?.) and then just the rest of the usual business questions how to build the business and keep it operating. hope this helps .....bob ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
