[FRC] Florida Repeater Council Information

[mccrpt at tampabay.rr.com]

I've been thru 2 new repeater coordinations in last year and had few problems.  The FRC responded quickly and with good info.  One pair I requested was not on the FRC list, but had been assigned to another.  So I found another pair.  I did my research before asking.  Both pairs are now up and running.


I find the FRC's guide lines to be technically sound and they follow them.  They have served Florida repeater systems well.


I see most of what Bryan is saying as just rambling without substance.

Back in 2002, Dana was extremely helpful in getting my coordination completed.



Bryan, question. Why would you need a listing of unused pairs? It seems counter productive to starting a new repeater, as well as trying to find existing ones.



In my understanding and past experience, you request temporary coordination and based on your location and desired output power, they then assign you a frequency pair that won't interfere with existing repeaters in the output powers RF range. They then give you time to setup and test before providing full coordination.



Launching a repeater on an unused frequency pair, would potentially cause interference to those setting one up in the future, and would possibly result in a cease and deceit letter from the FCC when someone else receives coordination for that pair.



Best regards,

I must say that I have tried several times to contact the
council to see if I could fire my repeater back up on my
old pair, and have heard nothing. I thought they were
defunct until I saw this email come through.
