CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS 
Conventional radio systems typically refer to 
unit-to-unit communications through a single 
channel. Conventional systems also allow 
radio users to extend communication coverage 
by relaying their messages through a repeater. 
To ensure coordinated use by multiple users, 
each radio user must monitor the channel or 
repeater before transmitting to verify that the 
system is not currently busy.
