<----Well, I'll keep it simple for the moment and save the gory details should they be needed. Essentially, the situation involves a 2 meter remote base on a UHF system being used to "monitor" a regularly scheduled Saturday swap net that is conducted on a non-related linked repeater system. The remote base simply monitors one of the 2 meter repeaters of that system. One of the "owners" of the linked system demands that the 2 meter remote base owner "cease and desist" because he doesn't have "permission" to rebroadcast the net and to do so is "illegal". The owner of the 2 meter remote base tells the linked system member to go pound sand (in so many words) - there is nothing illegal about using a remote base to monitor a linked system and that permission is not needed. Who's right? Ken
