Paul,
I've actually HEARD comments about CW ID's (not on any of my systems thankfully. but up in the ATL area) from several repeater users. Something about not being able to tell what repeater they're on. (I guess the frequency isn't a good enough clue.) Kinda makes me want to take the voice ID's off my systems! 73, Mike WM4B _____ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Plack Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 9:40 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] 440 Repeater Project 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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry <mailto:larrywago...@bellsouth.net> Wagoner To: Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 6:54 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] 440 Repeater Project At 01:52 PM 5/4/2009, you wrote: ...The question is posed by the addition of anything that could reasonably be seen to obscure, hide or somehow bring one to the belief that the identifying sign was something other than what it is... ..."10-codes"? I don't use those either.
