- etbusch 8y agoAutomatic operations and beacons are allowed as long as the control operator (the ham in charge) sets them to ID properly. Permanent beacons also have a transmission power limit (20W EIRP I believe).
- sciurus 8y agoBeacons are explicitly allowed. You can find the regulations covering them at https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/97.203 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/97.203 Relatedly, automatic control is defined at https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/97.3 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/97.3 and covers other devices as well like repeaters.
