Likewise, it is possible to set up a single repeater entry that will repeat packets received from any member of a group of hidden remotes. In Figure 13, a repeater entry with a Trigger = MYID and ID = 42FF repeats any packet received from the group of remotes matching MYID42FF.

If you plan to use more than one frequency in your network, frequency planning is important when you use repeaters. Repeaters, like any other unit, have only one receive frequency. It is important that all units transmitting data to a repeater transmit on the repeaters receive frequency (FA), as shown in Figure 14.
