- Bob,
-
- The FCC, as I understand it, considers these to be anciliary functions of
- the repeater (like the patch) and can be restricted. The repeater is under
- automatic control when a patch is made. Remember the person bringing up
- the patch may not be and probably is NOT a control operator of the
- repeater. They are accessing an anciliary function. If 'forward' patches
- are leagle (and there seems to be a concensus that they are) then
- 'reverse' patches are also permitted under part 97. The whole point is who
- is in control of the transmitter of the repeater and it seems to be
- evolving that the FCC recognizes that the station on the input is NOT a
- control operator of the repeater. (i.e. Novice on 220 useing a repeater
- linked to 146 or 444 where the novice CAN NOT be a control op. The control
- op is the automatic control operator. This same control operater is in
- control of the transmitter during a reverse patch.)
