OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS
Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by
radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops or
other elevated locations. Generally they operate at
higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical
station. This combination of elevation and high ERP
allows communications over much greater distances
than communications without using repeaters.
Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency
pair with a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split). In
addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the
transceiver to allow it to access. For details, consult
your local repeater reference.
