OPERATING THRU REPEATERS Compared to simplex cornrrumication,you can usually transmit over much farther distances by using a repeater. Repeaters are typically located on a mountain top or other elevated location. Often they operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical station. This combinations of elevation and high ERP allows communications over considerable distances. REPEATER ACCESS Most amateur radio voice repeaters use a separate receive and transmit frequency. You can set a separate transmit frequency by selecting the offset frequency and offset direction with respect to the receive frequency. The required offset direction and offset frequency depend on the repeater you are accessing. The required offset direction, offset frequency, and tone frequency depend on the repeater you are accessing. Consult your local repeater reference.
