it would have been fine with me for you to identify me these guys know i'm a whacko.
the interpretation and implementation of the fcc rules is not for you to deicde or interpret. they are the final word on whether a system that you may think perfectly legal and a logical application of the rules is legal and they interpret the rules very literally. public service is not a criterion for their decision making. the rules as written is the rules. there are several guys on the group who have years of experience in these matters. paging as they use the term is broadcasting. a one way transmission and that doesn't wash in the amateur service. possibly your local fire dispatch center has someone well versed in the fcc rules. bounce this of'n him. mdm ted Ted Bleiman K9MDM MDM Radio " If its in stock...we've got it!"
