Simplex or Repeater? What does it mean in ham radio and GMRS?

#ham #hamradiorepeater #simplexradio A short and simple explanation of what the words SIMPLEX and REPEATER means in 2-way radio communications. It is used in ham radio and GMRS when operating on the VHF & UHF bands. Simplex is point-to-point, line-of-sight, direct radio transmission between two or more radios all operating on the same transmit and receive frequency to talk and receive. Repeaters are typically high elevation relay stations that repeat the transmission of one radio on a frequency, and re-transmitted on a different frequency where the listening radio will be receiving and listening. This happens automatically. I will explain how the repeater frequency set up in the radio is done in more detail in another video.
