Conduct Retransmission (RXMT) Operations (Special Operator Task 6)

This special operator task may be required whenever communications

DESCRIPTION

with a net station is lost, or at risk of being lost, due to distance or

physical obstacles such as hills and mountains. Communications

specialists, scouts, staff drivers, and other operators having dual radio

configurations should be trained to perform this task whenever it is

required. The task involves communications between the requesting

NCS and the RXMT site, and between the RXMT site and the distant

station. It requires the use of two net IDS, or two SC frequencies, and

physical connection of the two RXMT radios by special retransmission

cable. Radio and frequency designations are as shown in the RXMT

graphic (See Figure 5-21).
