[arm-allstar] Remote base HF squelch

[David McGough]

I agree the answer in the USA is yes...But, only if there is a properly
licensed control operator present for the HF radio. You can NOT setup an
HF radio operating below 29.5MHz with "automatic" control (meaning like a
cross-band repeater).  If persons other than the control operator use the
HF radio, it would be considered 3rd party communications.....At least the
way I read the rules!

the short answer is yes and also depending on the country you are in 
maybe even not legal. It is my understanding that in the US as long as 
there is a control operator present on the circuit (not physically with 
the operator) a technician class operator could go out over HF. It is a 
very gray area and anyone listening on HF could assume the technician 
class was actually operating on HF. The control operator by definition 
has to be able to monitor and control the circuit.

Will there be any licensing issues on this?
