The boosted signal from a repeater can also improve the clarity of the transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeaters receive radio waves on one frequency, called the \u201cinput\u201d frequency, and then re-transmit the information on its \u201coutput\u201d frequency. Therefore if you use two way radios with a radio repeater service, they will be programmed to transmit on the repeater\u2019s input frequency and receive on its output frequency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radio repeater systems are widely used by commercial businesses that operate over large or built-up areas, emergency services, public transport and amateur radio enthusiasts. They are also used on large sites such as a warehouse or hotel as this type of building can be difficult to cover due to its structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A radio repeater simultaneously receives a radio signal and re-transmits it at a higher power so it can cover greater distances.
