Sec. 95.127  Controlling a station from a remote point.

    (a) A station operator in a GMRS system may control the station from 
a remote point through a control link (a connection between the remote 
control point and the remotely controlled station). The control link 
must be either:
    (1) A wireline control link solely for purposes of transmitter 
control (see Sec. 95.181(i)(13)); or
    (2) A radio control link.
    (b) The remotely controlled station must not make unauthorized 
transmissions.
    (c) The station operator must perform the required duties (see 
Sec. 95.173) when controlling the station from a remote point the same 
as when controlling it locally at the station point. Should the control 
link fail to function so that the station operator cannot perform the 
required duties, the remotely controlled station must not transmit.
    (d) The FCC does not consider a station in a GMRS system as being 
remotely controlled if the connection is a wireline or mechanical 
control link, and the station and its control point are both:
    (1) On the same vehicle; or
    (2) At the same street address, or within 152 meters (500 feet) of 
each other.
    (e) Any device used to establish a wireline control link which is 
attached to the public switched telephone network after April 1, 1976 
must be registered with the FCC and must comply with the standards 
incorporated in a registration program to protect the public switched 
telephone network from harm (see part 68 of the FCC Rules).
