that is correct.

the $99 is probably what most of us have and being a uniden, there is accesories such as external speaker etc for it.

How come you sit up in the repeater channels ??

(31 to 38) - It's technically illegal, but more so, it pisses others off...

Repeater Output - Channels 1 to 8 inclusive,

Repeater Input - Channels 31 to 38 inclusive.

--------------------------------------------------------------

How do you work through a repeater?.

All modern UHF CB transceivers have the function of being able to select duplex on channels 1 to 8. What this does is configure the transceiver to transmit on a channel 30 channels higher in frequency (called the repeater offset), every time you press your microphone button to transmit, but still receive on the channel you have selected. Therein lies the clue to the way repeaters operate - receiving your transmissions on the higher frequency, say in the case of a channel 4 repeater, channel 34, and retransmitting your transmission on the lower frequency, channel 4, so that all transceivers tuned to channel 4 in the footprint of the repeater will hear your transmission, as relayed from the repeater.

The downside of repeaters is that they tend to attract the "moronic" element due to their large coverage area. As the Authorities seem little interested to contribute to any policing of the band, it is largely up to the UHF operators to conduct themselves in a proper manner on the air and in doing so set a good example to others. There will always be that rebel element who, when behind the anonymity of a microphone cause trouble. Just remember that to respond to these individuals is to reinforce their very existence. Getting responses back can only increase their satisfaction of what they do. So the moral of the story is DO NOT RESPOND. It is the only weapon the responsible operator has of maintaining some degree of control over the quality of the UHF CB band.

easy...

you talk on chanels 1-8

and you listen on channels 30-38

eg. you talk on channel 4

you listen on channel 34

Question to South (it's PL97 here :mad: ):

Can you still use this function if you are outside of the range of a repeater? Do you need a repeater station setup inorder to use the duplex function?

how are you suppose to have a decent converstion?

you'd say something on channel 4 for instance, and then switch to channel 34 for the response, then switch back?! :D

I think the unit transmitt on 4 and receives on 34 automatically franks. :mad:

EDIT: shoulr be other way around...receive on ch4 and send via ch 34 :D

I still don get it ???

If you are on Ch4 do you have to switch to Ch34 to Listen ?? That sounds off.

Sounds like we need to change to Ch RB_25_DET (Channel 25) for the standard UHF channel now......

ok I *think* this is how it works if your unit supports duplex :mad:

- you are on ch4 and have setup to use duplex mode.

- you press the button to talk and the unit sends your voice over as ch34 to the repeater (4 + 30 = 34 wow)

- repeater receives your signal and broadcast it back out as ch4

- everyone on ch4 hears your voice
