Using the Repeater Channels
The KG-1000G is pre-configured with 8 GMRS repeater channels. The channels are
numbered 23-30 and named RPT-15 through RPT-22.
What is a Repeater?
In basic terms, a repeater is a device that is commonly used to increase the range of two
way radios. Repeaters will receive a transmission on one frequency and simultaneously
rebroadcast that transmission on a different frequency. Repeaters are often set up in
a fixed location and connected to an antenna that is mounted at a higher elevation to
provide better range than is normally available with radio-to-radio (simplex) communi-
cations.
