Section 3REPEATER OPERATION
Repeater operation
Repeaters extend the operational range of the transceiver by retransmitting the signals it receives. Repeaters are
usually located on the top of a building or a mountain, as the elevation increases their effectiveness, allowing the user
to transmit and receive over greater distances. During Simplex operation, transceivers transmit and receive on the
same frequency. During Duplex operation (using a repeater) transceivers transmit and receive on different frequen-
cies. It automatically does this when one of the repeater channels is selected.

accessed in the area, even if the repeater is not used.
The Repeater scan detects signals only on
channels 1 to 8 (channel 5 not included) and 41 to
48. The scan will stop if any activity is detected on a
repeater channel, even if a repeater is not present.
Activity such as stations operating in Simplex mode
on a repeater transmit channel may give a false
indication that a repeater is present.
