FCC Clarifies What Constitutes an Amateur Radio Repeater

[ARRL]

In December 2007, Gary Mitchell, WB6YRU, President of the Northern California Packet Association (NCPA), filed a Petition with the FCC, asking for the Commission to clarify the definition of a repeater. According to Part 97, Section 3(a)(39), A repeater in the amateur service is "[a]n amateur station that simultaneously retransmits the transmission of another amateur station on a different channel or channels."

channel? we don't need no stinkin channel

i can remember the "origional" SIMPLEX repeaters. they just stored info and retransmitted it after the input signal ceased.

all this concern over the word "simultaneously". they really should be focused on the word "channel".
