For Repeater-Assisted Communications A typical low-power handheld radio might be able to communicate with a base station on top of a mountain or a tall building 15 miles to even 30 or more miles distant. A repeater station is really just a special kind of base station which employs a very tall antenna. The repeater usually receives ona467 MHz GMRS frequency. When it receives a signal (usually accompanied by a special code which this repeater listens for es-
peciaily), the repeater then automaticaily (i.e., without further op-
erator action or control) retransmits that same signal on the com-
parable 462 MHz frequency. The advantage of the repeater is in its capability to receive a signal from a distant transmitter, and to retransmit a signal which can be heard by a distant receiver, because of the station's greater an-
tenna height. If a repeater with a tall antenna can hear a mobile signal 20 miles away (a typicai distance for a well-sited repeater), then it can usu-
ally transmit to another mobile unit anywhere within that same 20-
mile radius. The two mobile units themselves do not need to be near each other. They could be at opposite sides of the 20-mile radius of coverage of the repeater, or 40 miles apart from each other, and still be able to communicate through the repeater. There are some practical upper limits on range. For example, a repeater whose antenna is mounted on a 100-foot tower in mostly flat terrain might cover a 15-mile radius. An additional 5 to 10 miles of coverage might be gained by each doubling of antenna height. Using this example (and with the same typical terrain), mounting the antenna on a 200-foot tower might provide a 25-mile radius of coverage. But to achieve a 35-mile radius, you would need a 400-
foot tower. For a 45-mile radius of coverage, you would need an 800-foot tower. From this example, you can see that extending the range beyond 25 or 30 miles can come only from having access to a very tall antenna or (more likely) to a mountain top. 10 Gmrs-1000 IB for FCC.p65 14 21-08-01, 8:45 AM rf Hy Although there is the obvious advantage of additional communica-
tions range in communicating through a repeater station, there are also disadvantages. When one repeater is transmitting, it can block out or interfere with all other communications on that same fre-
quency within that same area. Since there are only eight frequency pairs available for repeater communications, GMRS users must cooperate in sharing the use of these frequencies. One method of cooperating is to use the repeater on/y when it is necessary to employ its extended range. When the corresponding units are close enough to each other so that the repeater is not needed, then the units should communicate with each other di-
rectly, not through the repeater. Repeater users should also keep their communications as short as possible (namely, only necessary and urgent communications). Gmrs-1000 IB for FCC. p65 16 21-08-01, 8:45 AM HH
