Using a Repeater Channel
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 signai is very slim. Valleys,
tall buildings, metallic structures,... etc,, tend
to act as a screen between radios
