This comes from www.copper.com "forums". Apparently, there is a
"repeater"
for the chicken band on the air. The link at the very top has
pictures,
circuitry and everything! Is this not against the law? .

I've made 11 meter repeaters before. If you stay low keyed, you can
get
away
with it for a very long time. Personally I think it's much better
than
running a bunch of heat to get out and you're not splattering the
crap
out
of your neighbors if you're accessing it from your home. Worked
great
with
a
HH too but I had to make the encoder inside a large mobile mic since
I
couldn't fit it into the radio shack hh at the time.

Do you also drive at 100 MPH because it's illegal to do so and you've
done
it before? People who always break the rules are partially responsible
for
yet more being imposed. Rules are made for a reason. And no, it isn't
to
be
broken....

If you're going to use that analogy, then make it a little more
realistic.
Using a repeater on 11 meters is more like driving 5 MPH over the speed
limit. I guess you would rather have folks driving near hospitals with
1200
watt splatter boxes stopping hart monitors just so they can be heard.

The whole point WAS.... Do you do it because it is ILLEGAL?
The whole point WAS.... Do you do it because it is ILLEGAL?

Nope, and I doubt you exceed the speed limit just because it's illegal too.
(and please don't say you've never exceeded the speed limit 'cuz I just
won't believe you).

Driving faster
than the speed limit allows - regardless if 5 or 100, linear amps, etc...
ALL are illegal, so is that why you do it?

Nope.

ANY analogy could be used in this
case.

You're right. I misread. My humble apologies on that.

IF it is illegal, it is illegal - regardless what the situation is
which is against the laws of the land.

So I've heard... *yawn*

As for comparing the damage done in
going 100 mph as opposed to a CB repeater... Maybe there isn't any
comparison in that regard, BUT again BOTH are illegal. No, I wouldn't want
people driving past Hospitals with 1200W splatter boxes,

Snip useless soapbox on your medical knowledge since you're not too stupid
to understand what was meant in the first place

Ok, to fix the 1200 watts into the hospital analogy, we'll forget that
situation and I'll give you one that you and I can both relate to better.

I live in an apartment complex. If you lived in the apartment next door to
me, would you rather put up with me kicking on a 1200 watt box on an indoor
dipole, or would it be better that I just use my 2 watt walkie talkie to
connect to a repeater so I can talk with my friends? I don't think I need to
explain what the hot box would do to your television reception (and possibly
reception on lots of other consumer level entertainment equipment).

And stop crying about "it's illegal!". If I want to get out, I'll get out
weather you like it or not. Personally, I think to choose to use the
repeater would be more responsible of me and respectful to you as my
neighbor.

But no matter, if
you're into illegal operations, nothing anyone else says will sit well wit
h
you. All I can say is - do it long enough, your turn will come.

I think I'll attract less of Uncle Charlie's attention if I use the repeater
and more if I use the 1200w amp, don't you?
