I live in Wyoming so the FRS is not going to work as I cant cover the distance I need with it as the power requirement is not enough. Putting up a repeater for only two user is not uncommon up here. We have several that only run a few users at most population being what it is. Renting from another I have already checked into the coverage for the locations that I am wanting is not possible due to the nature of the locations are so far apart that only one repeater over half the area and the other repeater the other half. Would be nice to have one that would cover the whole area. It would be two users at first but would grow in time to include more.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Dakota Summerhawk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 1:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Getting frequencies for UHF repeater either commercial or ham? 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!
