Relay Mode

1-22. Relay Mode

In the relay mode of operation, two radio sets are connected "back-to-back" so that signals received by one unit are

retransmitted by the other unit on another frequency. The operating frequencies must have a minimum separation of 2

MHz. The physical separation of the R/T units should be greater than 50 feet or have a physical barrier between them.

When one radio set receives a signal, the squelch output signal from it keys the transmit of the other radio set. The

RCVR AUDIO output of the receive radio set drives the PTT input of the transmit radio set, which modulates the

transmitted carrier with the audio signal detected by the receive radio set.
