Default Re: Users of 2 metre Amateur Band?

Did anyone notice that 1750Hz access is still permitted? It's just not mandatory, so presumably some / most repeater groups don't bother with it.

Furthermore, according to the RSGB 'rules', CTCSS is only required to get the repeater 'up' initially. It is not necessary to transmit CTCSS continually unless the repeater keeper has specifically asked that it can operate that way.

For the most part, therefore, you should be able to go straight back to anyone who has just called through a repeater as long as you call back before it drops out.
