If you need to communicate to a station beyond your reach, or if a barrier (such
as a mountain) is blocking communication, you can set up a retransmit station. This
will enable you to send messages to a retransmit station which will then relay your
message to the desired station. There are four methods for retransmit operation.
The one you use will depend on which mode (SC or FH) you are using, or if you
wish to relay ERF signals. Refer to the following illustrations as needed while perform-
ing a procedure.
SC to SC.
a. Set up RT C and D for normal SC operation.
b. Both RXMT radios must be set to
for RXMT operations.
c. Make sure that RT C is operating on a frequency that is separated by a mini-
mum of 10 MHz from the frequency used by RT D.
d. Connect retransmit cable (refer to illustration below).
e. Have RT C contact RT A. Confirm communication.
f.
Have RT D contact RT B. Confirm communication.
g. Set RT FCTN to RXMT (RT C and D only). The retransmit station is ready.
h. Have RT A contact RT B and confirm communication.
(Note: With RXMT RTs in
,A may talk with B in CT. RXMT operators will not
hear CT transmissions. RT A or B must go to
to contact the RXMT station.)
