Larry,
I hear ya, and this is probably what the folks who consider this vague and
unenforceable refer to.
I'm sure we'll be hearing "/R" for years to come. In fact, before it goes out
of use, I expect to start hearing new Technician-class licensees start asking
on-air, "Hey...what's that wierd beeping noise I keep hearing about every ten
minutes?"
My comment on 10-codes was only to suggest the FCC would have many layers of
other priorities to wade through before getting to "/R" on repeaters, not to
suggest that you condone ciphers.
And...thanks for taking this in the spirit of friendly debate in which it was
intended. ;^)
73,
Paul, AE4KR

..."10-codes"? I don't use those either. Indeed - I TEACH prospective
technicians - and the non-use of ciphers is part of my course...
