Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Repeater heard on Aviation Channel! (slight digression)
I had a Standard 826 back in the mid-70's. On one trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, we were pulled over by the Police while talking on the 146.85 Repeater. We were asking for some directions to a ham gathering, and we were giving detailed descriptions of where we were at the time. It was easy for the Police to find us to pull us over - they were hearing everything we said! We quickly found out about the Standard 826 transmit problem.

And are they still there? Last I heard (about 10 years ago) Torrance PD still hears a ham once in a while, but the dispatcher notes the call sign and they give it to their radio tech who does the contacting.
