When may a 10-meter repeater retransmit the 2-meter signal from a station that has a Technician class control operator?
- A.Under no circumstances
- B.Only if the station on 10-meters is operating under a Special Temporary Authorization allowing such retransmission
- C.Only during an FCC-declared general state of communications emergency
- D.Only if the 10-meter repeater control operator holds at least a General class license (correct answer)
WhyA 10-meter repeater may retransmit a 2-meter signal from a Technician class station only if the 10-meter repeater's own control operator holds General class or higher. §97.205(b) lets a 10-meter repeater retransmit a 2-meter signal from a Technician class station only if the 10-meter repeater's own control operator holds General class or higher, since the repeater itself needs privileges the originating Technician station doesn't have to use that segment, answer D. No Special Temporary Authorization or emergency declaration is required for this specific arrangement, it's a standing rule tied to the control operator's license class.
