Setting up a CB repeater for our own exclusive use is relatively easy.

One of these devices hooked up to a CB radio will do the job. Yes, it will allow any other person with a CB radio withthe same channel alignment to use it as well, but the really neat thing is taht it can be turned on and off remotely using a secret user set DTMF code sequence. This means taht we can set it up, test it and then turn it off remotely. Cost of each repeater like this would be around £200

So yes technology has now provided a simple solution to us. The questions are

1. is it legal to set up such a device at this time?
2. Who's going to fund it?
3. Is there a real need for it?
