Simplex and Duplex
When two stations contact each other
using the same frequency for both
transmit and receive, they are said to be
operating simplex.
And Then There Were Mountains

Enter Repeaters

Note the repeater output

A repeater is an electronic
device that “listens” to
radio transmissions on one
frequency and re-transmits
the same information on a
different frequency.
A radio repeater is a combination
of a radio receiver and a radio
transmitter that receives a weak or
low-level signal and retransmits it
at a higher level or higher power,
so that the signal can cover longer
distances without degradation.

Wikipedia.
When using repeaters, all of the radios transmit
on one frequency (447.050)
And receive on a different frequency (442.050).
The repeater acts like an intermediary
or translator.

The individual radios cannot


communicate with each
other without the repeater.

No repeater = no duplex
communications
Simplex and Duplex
Duplex operation is where one station
transmits on frequency A and receives on
frequency B while the repeater transmits
on frequency B and receives on frequency
A.
Greater Range
A repeater’s expanded coverage
greatly enhances the ability to
communicate with mobile stations
and hams using hand held
transceivers.

ACS normally uses the WA6GG repeater. That repeater transmits
on 442.050 (the repeater output fx.) if you look at your radios,
you will see that fx displayed. That is your radio’s input or receive
fx.

The WA6GG repeater receives on 447.050. When you key your


microphone, the fx on your radio changes to 447.050. Your radio’s
transmit fx is the repeater’s receive fx.
