In the case of nefarious users who choose not to follow DMR repeater Codes of Conduct, there are still tools that repeater owners can employ to deal with such situations. First, repeater owners can implement a feature available for Motorola MOTOTRBO repeaters called Restricted Access to System, commonly known as RAS. Essentially, RAS allows varying levels of controlled access to the repeater, depending upon the issue that the repeater owner wants to control. On a basic level, repeater owners can implement access controls such that only certain DMR IDs can access the repeater and its associated DMR repeater network. The downside to this is that the actual IDs to be accepted by the repeater need to be manually programmed into it. This can be time consuming for the repeater owner and does not prevent DMR ID masquarading.
To implement maximum control, repeater owners can implement a RAS key or password that would be required for any radios that want to be able to access the repeater. While this is the most effective method for limiting access to the repeater, it would limit the type of radios that could access the repeater, as only Motorola MOTOTRBO units currently support this functionality. It would be unfortunate if such measures need to be implemented, however at least there are options available for repeater owners in places where problem users are intent on disrupting communications.
Fortunately, the latter case of DMR ID misuse is in the definite minority, as most hams operate with the spirit intended for the hobby. By helping one another overcome the challenges associated with adopting this new digital mode, we can continue to make DMR an exciting and rewarding aspect of the hobby for all to enjoy.
