Got questions about using a repeater? Devils Tower Amateur Radio Club has written a simple guide to using a repeater. Repeaters are usually established on high points and often mounted on commercial TV or radio station antennas and therefore have the advantage of a greater coverage area. In some areas there are repeaters on the higher UHF bands such as 1.2 GHz. The most common Amateur Radio band for repeater use is the 2m band, but other common bands are 10m, 6m, 1.25m and 70cm. They are frequently used for radio nets to ensure that all stations can hear and speak to each other when located over a wide geographic area, such as all across Ottawa.
