[Geysers] EXTERNAL: Radio Broadcasting

[Paul Strasser]

The whole idea seemed odd to me, because the FCC regs about FRS
transmissions are pretty specific.

 

Here is what I found after a few minutes s googling,. From the FCC regs:

 


§ 95.194   (FRS Rule 4) FRS units.


 (c) You may not attach any antenna, power amplifier, or other apparatus to
an FRS unit that has not been FCC certified as part of that FRS unit. There
are no exceptions to this rule and attaching any such apparatus to a FRS
unit cancels the FCC certification and voids everyone's authority to operate
the unit in the FRS.

No matter how you put it, we world be using an external apparatus to
rebroadcast the FRS signals;.

Will,

 

Don’t let the naysayers get you down.  They’re too full of themselves.

 

FRS transmissions are on public airwaves.  If someone doesn’t like speaking
in public STFU.  If people don’t want to listen they can certainly turn it
off.  Nobody is forcing anyone to do either.

 

FRS calls would help the cam operators zoom to whatever geyser is imminent
and in turn those who watch the cam would benefit.

 

Thanks, 
Udo Freund

Sorry to have ruffled so many feathers about posting the idea of
broadcasting the FRS calls. I am relatively new to the gazing community and
I had no Idea that there was so much opposition to this idea. 

I am and will not work on the project because I simply don’t have the time
and it sounds like the idea is not being taken as being a good one. So ill
leave it at that. Just an idea.

 

Thanks,

Will Boekel
