Type
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
Answer Notes
A linked repeater network consists of two or more repeaters connected together, either via radio links, the internet, or dedicated lines. When one repeater receives a signal, it routes the audio to all other repeaters in the network, which then transmit the signal simultaneously. This greatly expands the coverage area, allowing operators separated by hundreds of miles to communicate as if they were on the same local repeater.
The distractors are incorrect. A single repeater with multiple receivers is called a voting system. Having the same control operator does not inherently link the audio between repeaters. Finally, APRS is a digital packet system primarily used for location tracking and short text messages, not for linking voice repeaters.
