REFLECTED POWER. The strength of an incoming rf signal passed by a receiver antenna to the
receiver.
REMOTE CONTROL. The operation of the communication system by remotely located components of
the system.
RETRANSMISSION. The arrangement of two radio sets connected together to provide automatic
retransmission of signals between two radios that are too far apart to communicate directly with each
other.
