Whoa Nellie! On Amateur frequencies, you can't throw the Part 97 rules out the window and just declare you are now under part 15, whether or not you lower power and use less antenna. If people did that we would have repeaters full of bootleggers saying they were "part 15" and didn't need no steenkin license. And his personal base station has to abide some other rules as well, such as those concerning auxiliary operation, and repeater subbands, etc. From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Bill South Sent: Friday, March 29, 2013 5:21 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] How to turn on AllStar ID Requirements Station identification is only required at the end of each communication, and at least every 10 minutes during a communication. Beaconing (IDing at intervals) is not required, but probably not a bad idea. If it is for personal use only, you might want to consider cutting the power and antenna to meet part 15 rather than part 97 and you won't have to ID at all? --- On Sat, 3/23/13, Jim W7RY <w7ry@centurytel.net <mailto:w7ry@centurytel.net> > wrote: From: Jim W7RY <w7ry@centurytel.net <mailto:w7ry@centurytel.net> > Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] How to turn on AllStar ID Requirements To: "George Zolla" <gazolla@san.rr.com <mailto:gazolla@san.rr.com> >, app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org <mailto:app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org> Cc: "Ralph Howey" <ralph@ralphhowey.com <mailto:ralph@ralphhowey.com> >, "Chris Drummond" <kc5izr@gmail.com <mailto:kc5izr@gmail.com> >, "Wally Baker" <wallyb1511@msn.com <mailto:wallyb1511@msn.com> > Date: Saturday, March 23, 2013, 3:26 AM You MOST CERTAINLY DO have to send an ID! It's this kind of attitude that generates unknown interference on frequencies improperly used! 73 Jim W7RY I am new to AllStar but I have great little home AllStar node with a simplex base station radio set at 5 Watts. No one else has ever connected and i ti meant just for my use. As such I do not send out a station ID at regular intervals.
