I didn't want to play the coordinated vs uncoordinated card with him at this time, but that would dictate that he is primarily responsible for resolving any interference problems - including frequency selection on his part. There is no way there could be any interference to the coordinated operation (the repeater), and I believe interference to the uncoordinated operation (his RC receiver) would not exist, either.
Keep in mind that RC operations can exist anywhere, so if you 'prohibit' operation even within 30 kHz of the RC channels, you are eliminating approximately 80% of the repeater channels as candidates for repeater operation. RC cannot be granted exclusive use of most of the 53-54 MHz band - especially after decades of use of the band by established repeaters. Joe M.
