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
radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to
act as a screen between radios.
Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station.
