REPEATER AND DUPLEX MODE
Duplex operation allows the radio to transmit on a dierent frequency to that
which it receives. This allows operation through repeater stations.
A repeater station consists of a linked transmitter/receiver combination installed in
a prominent location. The repeater is designed to receive signals on a designated
channel and retransmit them on another channel. Repeaters are usually mounted
on hills or tall buildings. The increase elevation greatly improves both the receiving
and transmitting range of the repeater allowing it to receive and retransmit
signals to radios that would otherwise be out of range of each other.
Normally, UHF CB radios transmit and receive on the same frequency - known as
Simplex operation. However, to communicate through repeaters, your radio must
be able to transmit and receive on dierent channels - otherwise known as Duplex
operation. Your radio is tted with a Duplex key to allow you to operate through
repeaters.
The Duplex function can only be selected on channels 1 - 8 and 41 - 48 as these
are the channels that have been allocated for repeater use. When Duplex is
selected, your radio receives on the selected channel (e.g. CH 1) but transmits 30
channels higher (CH 31). The repeater hears your signal on CH 31 and retransmits
it on CH 1 for others to hear.
