Says the FCC via 97.205(c): ============================================ (c) Where the transmissions of a repeater cause harmful interference to another repeater, the two station licensees are equally and fully responsible for resolving the interference unless the operation of one station is recommended by a frequency coordinator and the operation of the other station is not. In that case, the licensee of the noncoordinated repeater has primary responsibility to resolve the interference. ============================================
So, it is not the last repeater on the air who solves it (aas you implied) - it's the uncoordinated one. I never said it was mandatory to coordinate - only that if you don't, you have to resolve the interference to a coordinated repeater. You said show you - I did.
