From d44aec57557136bc5a9f0d48d3b27a0da4cfac0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 16:50:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs(legality): fix a dropped phrase and move the reviewed date to August MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two corrections found reviewing the page after v2.24.0: - The "A copy, not a retransmission" pill read "your over reaches your own GMRS stations" — a dropped phrase. Restored to "your voice over the air reaches". - The disclaimer still said the page reflects guidance as of July 2026 while the footer badge said August. The #positions section was added after the July review, so August is the correct date in both places. No compliance content changed. Every citation in the positions section and the rule map was re-checked against the CFR text and both are accurate as written; v2.24.0 altered no transmission behaviour, since all three position sources are receive-only. --- docs/legality.html | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/legality.html b/docs/legality.html index ae16674..e8edb39 100644 --- a/docs/legality.html +++ b/docs/legality.html @@ -596,7 +596,7 @@

Not a network connection to the station

47 CFR § 95.1733(a)(8) · (a)(9)

A copy, not a retransmission

-

The linking rule is about carrying messages between stations so a distant transmitter retransmits them and extends your range. There is no second GMRS transmitter here and no range extension on GMRS: your over reaches your own GMRS stations exactly as far as your radio reaches. The LoRa copy is a separate Part 15 transmission on its own band — the mesh nodes are not recipients of your GMRS transmission, and the mesh path is not a wireline control link.
