Question
Which of the following describes a linked repeater network?
Answer Options
- A) A network of repeaters in which signals received by one repeater are transmitted by all the repeaters in the network
- B) A single repeater with more than one receiver
- C) Multiple repeaters with the same control operator
- D) A system of repeaters linked by APRS
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
A linked repeater network (often connected via auxiliary stations, Internet, or dedicated microwave links) is a system where multiple repeater stations are interconnected. The key characteristic is that signals received by one repeater are transmitted by all the repeaters in the network.
This technology creates a wide coverage area, allowing operators to communicate across an entire city, state, or region simply by accessing their local repeater. This wide area coverage is invaluable for large-scale emergency and public service communications.
