Dealing with difficult terrain
In some geographical areas there may be obstacles that make communi-
cation between iNet transceivers difficult. These obstacles commonly
are large buildings, natural geological formations or dense foliage.
These obstacles can often be overcome with a repeater station. See
“REPEATER ASSITED LANS” on page 28 for descriptions of basic
repeater configurations.
