[App_rpt-users] GMRS linked Repeater network using HAMVoIP

[Joe Leikhim]

I believe that rule dates back to a time where a control operator was

required to manually manage a repeater station, a requirement long
abandoned after the adoption automatic control. It was NOT added
recently to in any way prevent connection to an IP network. The FCC has
already stated a position that IP linking is permissible as long as it
does not touch the now defunct dial up PSTN or utilize the NANP.
