A Repeater is a radio installed at a location specifically selected to provide communications between stations that would be unlikely to communicate directly due to either terrain or distance. FM voice repeaters receive on one frequency, and re-transmit the received audio on a different frequency. This does require some specialized equipment.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand the following information. Check out the FAQ or come on down to the clubhouse on any Sunday morning and you will meet several people eager to explain what all this means.
