Chapter 8. - Repeaters
A radio repeater is an automated transceiver in a fixed location. Usually mounted high up on
hilltops or on tall buildings, but sometimes they operate within buildings for internal use. A
repeater takes one signal and relays it, usually after amplifying it by orders of magnitude.
Whether you're a commercial (business or government) user or an amateur radio operator,
chances are you'll be dealing with a repeater system sooner or later. To find out what settings to
use to use your local repeater, ask your employer or someone at your local amateur radio
organization for details.
A common type of repeater is the duplex repeater. In a duplex repeater system, the repeater
transmits and receives simultaneously, but on different frequencies. To utilize this type of
repeater, your radio has to be capable of transmitting and receiving on different frequencies
on the same memory channel. How you use this kind of repeater is by setting the receive
frequency of your radio to the output frequency of the repeater, and the transmit frequency of
your radio to the input frequency of the repeater. Often times, the transmit frequency to use
isn't explicitly stated, but rather an offset relative your receive frequency is specified. This is
conveniently by specifying offset rather than transmit frequency. (Example 145.000MHz Receive
