Using Repeater Channels
UHF CB repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters will extend the
range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions. In
normalSimplexoperation,yourradiotransmitsononeparticularfrequencyandreceives
on that same frequency.
Ifthereisabarrierthatpartiallyblocksyourtransmittedsignal,theprobabilityofanother

Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station.
