It's not the 10M radio that is in AUX operation - it's the (2M or higher) frequencies that are dhared by the repeater that are. The statement was that *those* cannot be AUX frequencies since they have multiple users. (a stand that is completely ridiculous)
I wonder if this has something to do with their stand on classifying D-STAR repeaters as AUX stations so they don't have to operate in the repeater sub-bands... Joe M.
