OVERVIEW
Running a VHF/UHF amateur radio repeater network using commercial repeater hardware, duplexers for simultaneous TX/RX, and linking capabilities for extended coverage.
ABOUT REPEATERS
Amateur radio repeaters are stations that receive a signal on one frequency and simultaneously retransmit it on another frequency, extending the range of communications. They're typically located at high elevations to maximize coverage area.
A duplexer is a device that allows a repeater to transmit and receive on different frequencies at the same time using a single antenna, which is essential for continuous operation.
