While on the subject of Mototrbo, I finally had time to "play" with our demo repeater.
Am I safe to assume the Mototrbo repeater will pass all digital voice transmissions as long as the color code is the same? As long as there are two portables or mobiles with the same group list within range of that repeater that is. If this is true, how can the operator of a commercial Mototrbo repeater allow only his paid customer base while rejecting rogue radios? In the case of a Mototrbo ham repeater, how does the control operator prevent unauthorized communications when he/she would not even be able to monitor the communications? Sorry if I've missed something during my initial experience with Mototrbo and there is a way to reject unauthorized transmissions.
