OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS
Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by
radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops or
other elevated locations. They generally 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 communicating 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 be accessed. For details, consult your
local repeater reference.
