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

<p>I see most of what Bryan is saying as just rambling without substance.<br>

Back in 2002, Dana was extremely helpful in getting my coordination completed.</p>

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.</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; word-wrap:break-word">
</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; word-wrap:break-word">
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.</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; word-wrap:break-word">
</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:10pt; word-wrap:break-word">
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.</p>

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