Sin City Repeater Group, Inc. operates a closed, controlled-access repeater network.
Use of any SCRG-affiliated repeater requires either:
- Current SCRG membership with authorized repeater access; or
- Express, written permission from SCRG leadership, the applicable repeater trustee, or an authorized control operator.
SCRG-affiliated repeaters may identify on-air or in public listings as “closed,” “closed system,” “controlled access,” or similar language. This designation is intentional and must be respected. A closed repeater is not an invitation for casual testing, kerchunking, tone-hunting, or unauthorized use. Operators who have not received current SCRG authorization or express permission from the applicable trustee or control operator should not transmit on the system. Requests for access should be made through SCRG leadership or the established permission process.
SCRG repeaters are privately maintained technical infrastructure that supports lawful amateur radio communication, technical education, public-service readiness, emergency communications support, and responsible RF experimentation.
Access to SCRG-affiliated repeaters is neither automatic nor public, and is not guaranteed.
Under FCC rules, limiting the use of a repeater to certain user stations is permissible. SCRG and its designated repeater trustees and control operators retain authority over repeater configuration, access, linking, identification, and operation.
Use of any SCRG-affiliated repeater is a revocable privilege, not a right. Membership in SCRG does not automatically confer repeater access. Payment of dues, donations, sponsorships, or other contributions does not purchase repeater access or continued use.
SCRG may limit, condition, suspend, or revoke repeater access at any time to protect system integrity, lawful operation, technical reliability, site security, emergency/public-service readiness, or the reputation of the amateur service.
SCRG repeaters are not a public utility, an emergency service, a guaranteed communications service, or a substitute for personal emergency preparedness. SCRG makes no representation or guarantee regarding geographic coverage, signal availability, reliability, uptime, linking availability, audio quality, or accessibility from any specific location.
All users must comply with FCC Part 97, identify themselves with a valid FCC-issued call sign, practice good amateur principles, and follow all SCRG policies, trustee instructions, control operator instructions, and system-specific rules.
Unauthorized use, sharing of tones or codes, intentional interference, quick-keying, jamming, harassment, abusive conduct, intoxicated or impaired operation, unauthorized linking, deceptive transmissions, or conduct that places the system, trustees, control operators, or SCRG at regulatory, legal, technical, or reputational risk may result in immediate loss of access.
Emergency and public-service communications have priority at all times.
By transmitting on any SCRG-affiliated repeater, the operator acknowledges and accepts that access is conditional, revocable, and subject to SCRG policy, trustee authority, control operator authority, and FCC Part 97.
