The point to remember is that NO repeat NO one has a right to any

97.205(c).Where the transmissions of a repeater cause harmful
interference to another repeater, the two station licensees are equally
and fully responsible for resolving the interference unless the
operation of one station is recommended by a frequency coordinator and
the operation of the other station is not. In that case, the licensee of
the noncoordinated repeater has primary responsibility to resolve the
interference.

So does 97.205(c) give the licensee of the coordinated repeater any
rights? Seems to me that it does.

We can go on and on with "could of" and "should of", and with discussion
of what "harmful interference" means. The bottom line is that frequency
coordination is recognized in the regulations and thus it's not a
prudent idea to simply ignore it and pick a pair for your new repeater.
