Using a Repeater £hannel
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 (Le. Valley) that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Valleys, tall buildings, metallic structures, ... etc., tend to act as a screen between radios
