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? .

IT MOST CERTAINLY IS...........

NS



where did you get this info that it is illegal? no flame just curious.


quote
FCC: Part 95, RULE 19 - Remote Control Operations
{A} You MAY NOT operate a CB station transmitter by RADIO remote control.
{B} You MAY operate a CB transmitter by WIRELINE remote control IF you
obtain specific approval in writing from the FCC. To obtain FCC approval you
must show why you need to operate your station by wireline remote control.
Send your request and justification to:
FCC, Gettysburg, PA 17325.
If you receive FCC approval, you must keep the approval as part of your
station records (read Rule 27 on station records).

In other words, a repeater is just a radio remote controled station. Even if
you put the receiver (input) at one end of town and you get approval to wire
control the transmitter (output) at the other end of town, you are still
indirectly operating the transmiter by radio remote control (illegal). Sux,
don't it.
