From the FCC regs:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <h5><a name="47:5.0.1.1.5.2.139.4">� 95.194   (FRS Rule 4) FRS units.<o:p></o:p></a></h5> �(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.<o:p></o:p> No matter how you put it, we world be using an external apparatus to rebroadcast the FRS signals;. ��<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Paul Strasser<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu [mailto:geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu] On Behalf Of Freund, Udo Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 7:32 AM To: <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Geyser Observation Reports</st1:PersonName> Subject: Re: [Geysers] EXTERNAL: Radio Broadcasting<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Will,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Don’t let the naysayers get you down.  They’re too full of themselves.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 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.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> FRS calls would help the cam operators zoom to whatever geyser is imminent and in turn those who watch the cam would benefit.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> Thanks, Udo Freund<o:p></o:p> "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."  --Will Rogers<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'> From: geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu [mailto:geysers-bounces@lists.wallawalla.edu] On Behalf Of Will Boekel Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 6:52 PM To: Listserve Subject: EXTERNAL: [Geysers] Radio Broadcasting<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div> <div> Sorry to have ruffled so many feathers about posting the idea of broadcasting the FRS calls.
