Close. A repeater can be an automatically controlled station OR a station under remote control via telecommand. Further, if the telecommand is performed via the repeater input, it is also part of the telecommand system & is therefore an auxiliary station. This is why Kenwood SkyCommand is considered an auxiliary station. >Joe M. > ><mailto:no6b%40no6b.com>[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > At 11/6/2007 22:04, you wrote: > > > > >Part 97 debates are not allowed on the list, but this is not a debate. > > > > > >It used to be that repeaters had to have some means of control (Control > > >link or telephone), and that they had to cease operations within 3 > > >minutes of failure of the control link. > > > > > >Is that still in Part 97, and if so...
