RETRANSMIT
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 performing a procedure.
SC to SC.
a
Set up RT C and D for normal SC operation.
b
Make sure that RT C is operating on a frequency that is separated by a minimum of 10 MHz from the frequency used
by RT D (obtained from SOI).
c
Connect retransmit cable (refer to illustration below).
d
Have RT C contact RT A
Confirm communication.
e
Have RT D contact RT B
Confirm communication.
f
Set RT FCTN to RXMT (RT C and D only)
The retransmit station is ready.
g
Have RT A contact RT B and confirm communication.
