Huh? When were they not legal? W6MEP's repeater was on in 1956.
Maybe your friend didn't have a control link?

Reepaters were first licensed in 1972 when the FCC issued the repeater
rules. They were granted 'WR' callsigns in 1974 (which was discontinued
around 1978).
They were never prohibited in Part 97 AFAIK based on my research of
repeaters. They were required to have a control operator at a control

Yep. I didn't see what that rule change happened, but I know it did.
I also know that there was an FCC-issued moratorium on new repeaters in
1985, but I never found and don't recall how long that lasted. I think
it was about a year. I recall they used the ARRL RD as the guide of what

Hmmm-there must be a few errors in there about the exact band segments.

The first amateur repeater in Canada was VE3RPT in 1965, which is still
on the air but now in its forth (soon to be fifth) incarnation.

All I said was that VE3RPT was the first repeater in *Canada. *I don't

a lot of help from the folks in the BARRA group in Buffalo NY, so they
were on the air before that. Repeaters in the UK

I was/am looking for USA, but thanks
for the history north of the border!
I did read a web page about the first repeater in the UK.

Thanks again, Ken. That is exactly what I was looking for.
I believe there are some other folks who lay claim to the 'father of
repeaters', too.
In all honesty, it looks like it happened in steps - with Art being the
first (perhaps) to put up the first fully automatic repeater. Even that

Sounds like you need to repair/replace the station control or the repeater
control board. You might need to look at the line driver also. I dont have a
manual in front of me so I am going from memory. You need the service manual
and
some test equipment.

I have just received a Motorola Micor Compastation repeater that had
been used for a repeater on 147.220. This repeater was hit by
lightning and apparently did not work. It is now my project.
As I was looking through it tonight for the first time, I found that
it powers up but did not
The very first thing that you need is a Radio Amateur Handbook. Read it and
get help understanding how transmitters and receivers work.
The next thing that you will need is a service manual on the radio that you
are working on.
You will need test equipment, Oscilloscope, Signal Generator and
