<DIV>Eric,</DIV>
<DIV> What do they do when they are on vacation or hospitalized? Do they shut down the digipeaters. Or, do they make a call to have someone else drive out to the site and uplug it? What if the weather conditions prohibited access to the digipeater site? Without a contorl link they would have to wait until they could access the digipeater site?</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>IMO, it is not a control link. A control link controls the transmitter not a person that controls the transmitter. The digipeaters I help out with are all controlled by the license holder going out to the site and unplugging the radio. They don't have to call someone else to do it for them.</FONT></DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT></DIV>
