-===== Repeater Record Custodian ===== +===== Repeater Record Custodian (RRC) =====
-If a non-admin is willing to keep a repeater up-to-date on Repeaterbook, this person can be added as a custodian. This person **must** have permission from the repeater owner to fill this position. If the person's call sign matches that of the repeater or the user indicates that he is otherwise authorized to perform updates on the repeater by a person in charge of the repeater, then they can be added as a custodian. Persons who engage in deception in order to gain access to edit the repeater are subject to permanent banning and may be prosecuted for a computer crime.+
  
-To add a custodian, click the **Manage custodian(s)** linkA pop-up window will appear. Just add the custodian's call sign. The custodian must have a Repeaterbook.com account with a valid email address or the custodian will be rejected. Please ask the custodian to register for a Repeaterbook.com account if this happens.+  * [[https://youtu.be/bspKdUZCxYQ|Overview of the RRC program (YouTube)]] 
 +  [[https://youtu.be/_539jPdyBoA|Tutorial of the RRC program (YouTube)]]
  
-At this time, custodians can only manage DMR talk group information and report the repeater on-air or off-air. All other changes must be completed by an admin. 
  
-Custodians are also notified if any changes are made to the repeater automtically.+Repeater owners, trustees, control operators, keepers, etc., can claim their repeater listing and help keep the repeater up-to-date on Repeaterbook.com. This person **must** have permission from the person legally responsible for the proper operation of the repeater. You must be a registered member of RepeaterBook.com to participate.
  
-===== Record Lock ===== +We often automatically assign registered members to the RRC status if their call sign matches that of the repeaterThere are many repeaters inside the United Statesand most repeaters outside of the United States using alternative call signs. These repeaters can be manually claimed by individuals and verified by admins
-When a well-engaged Repeater Record Custodian is involved, the custodian may desire to protect the data from others who might want to make updatesBy checking the **Repeater Lock** box, the link for editing the repeater is removed for any user who is not listed as a custodian or an admin.+
  
-The Record Lock checkbox will not be available unless a custodian has been entered.+Those that would like to take on the RRC function can use the "Claim Repeater" link from the menu banner on the repeater's details page.
  
-Custodians will receive an email request to reverify the repeater based on the number of months entered when adding the user as a custodian.+RRCs can currently adjust these settings: 
 + 
 +  * Manage DMR talk groups - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8_uke2FHUc|YouTube]] 
 +  * Manage operational status 
 +  * Access tones (i.e., CTCSS, DCS, Color Code, NAC, etc.) 
 +  * Signal factors (i.e.; Height ASL and AAT, Output Power, Antenna Gain, and Radiation Pattern) 
 +  * Manage web links 
 + 
 + 
 +RRCs are also notified of any changes made to the repeater automatically. This also includes notifications regarding the addition of propagation reports.  
 + 
 +These changes can be completed using the Submit Update menu item on the Repeater Details page. 
 + 
 +===== Edit Lock ===== 
 +When a well-engaged Repeater Record Custodian is involved, the RRC may prohibit others from submitting update requests. By turning on **Edit Lock**, the link for editing the repeater is removed for any user not listed as a custodian or an admin. This does not prohibit admins from making updates, but it prevents other site users from submitting updates. 
 + 
 +RRCs may receive an email request occasionally to reverify the repeater's information. RRCs must respond to these emails, or the edit lock will be removed. Again, this program is intended for RRCs that are well-engaged. 
 + 
 +On the repeater's details page, under the Submit Update menu item, use the RRC Management link to manage the RRC details. Existing RRCs can add and remove other RRCs. One RRC can be designated as the Primary RRC, with other RRCs serving as auxiliaries. All RRCs receive edit notifications. 
 + 
 +===== Primary RRC ===== 
 +The primary RRC is the only RRC who can toggle the edit lock status.
