Note: Hold the microphone 5-10 cm from your mouth and slightly to one side so that
your voice does not project directly into the microphone. Speak at a normal
voice level. Never raise your voice or shout into the microphone.
3. Release the PTT Switch, to end the transmission and listen for the reply.
Using Repeater Channels
UHF CB Repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters will extend
the range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions.
In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on one particular frequency and
receives on that same frequency. If there is a barrier (i.e. valley) that partially blocks
your transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very
slim. Valleys, tall ouildings, metallic structures,... etc. tend to act as a screen between
radios.
