Does the Wouxun KG-UV950P crossband repeat function work with 10m to 2m crossbanding??
I read the unit will do VHF/UHF crossbanding, but wondered has anyone tried to do 10m and 2m crossband on it??
Think about it from a RF standpoint.
To cross band 2 meters FM - about a 40 inch antenna to 10 meters about a 8'6 inch antenna, you would need two separate antennas and a combiner.
You would have to use a simplex FM frequency, and you would either need a control operator at the control point, or you would need a controller and a link radio - more than 220 Mhz frequency, that was coordinated by your local repeater council, or you would need a private line telephone with a phone patch set up that would be designed to shut off the link if it malfunctioned, with a unlisted telephone number that couldn't be accidentally rung up by telemarketers, friends calling to talk to you, or other club members - that just happens to know your phone number.
I'm not quite sure about the legality of people with a Technician Class License using 2 meters, being cross banded to 10 meters, especially if they did not know that they were being cross banded. The rules says that you must have the permission of everyone on the frequency to do so.
Again, someone could access your link and get into it and cause trouble and you would be held accountable, not them, since it was your station causing the trouble.
Since 10 meters is only sporadically open, for short periods of time, and unpredictable to where it opens to, why would you want to bother doing something like this when there is no benefit to doing it.
D-Star, System Fusion, The WAN, All Star, and a dozen other VOIP services can do essentially the same thing via a linked repeater, using the internet and no hassles.
