I use the cross band feature on the 71a where I live, to work a
repeater that I can't hit on my HT. I use a simplex frequency on
one band to crossband to the repeater on the other band. It
works great.
I remember reading about some ham that got his license yanked
because he patched two drive-through fast food joints together so
one was getting orders for the other one and vice versa. Pretty
funny but for the fact that he was violating all kinds of laws
not only transmitting outside the ham bands, but violating
commerce reg's etc. Jim WA6EKS.

Hi Albert.
You can definitely use the 71A to crossband an HT to a repeater.
In fact,
be warned. You can crossband two repeaters together, and you
DON'T wanna
do
this. What happens is one repeater transmits and the radio
transmits
whatever is on the one repeater to the other. Then the other
repeater
keys
and transmits to the first repeater. This cycles on and on
until you turn
crossband off. I accidently did this once, and I had folks from
several
counties looking for me. It lasted a couple of hours while I
was out.
I'm
really careful to check my A and B bands now.
Just letting you and other folks know.
GO CATS!
