Daisy-Chain Installation (Multiple Repeaters)
To transmit data up to one and a half miles (two and a half kilometers), or to
improve reception in hilly, heavily-wooded or urban areas, you can daisy-
chain up to 8 repeaters together. For instructions on daisy-chaining multiple
repeaters, see below; for instructions on adding multiple transmitters to the
network as well, see page 12.

EPEATERS
To install a chain of more than one repeater, follow the instructions as if for a
single repeater installation but, before you apply power to test the system, set
Repeater ID codes so that each will listen to the repeater before it in succession.
The first repeater (i.e., the repeater closest to the transmitter) needs no adjust-
ment. The second repeater, however, needs to be set to Repeater ID code B; and
the third, to C; and so on. In this way, the second repeater (B) will only tune
into signals from the first (A), and the third (C) will only tune into signals from
the second (B), and so on, thereby improving reception.
Note:
The repeater “closest to the transmitter” means the repeater with the best connection to that
transmitter (i.e., whether or not it is the shortest distance away may be less important than a
clear line of sight).
