A simple rebroadcast device capable of operating on your own Team Working Channel and a few others near to you would be built like this.
This is the ‘Simple Repeater’ as described in the TMC Radio publication A9k-501. The only difference is the addition of the diplexer allowing use of frequen-
cies, in both radios, that are close to each other.
De-sensing is reduced to a very low level and only a single aerial is required. How-
ever, changing channels is no easier with this device than with any others so far
described. A control head is still required. For single channel working, ie on a team
TWC only, this configuration is all you will need.
TWC
147.350 MHz
The radio frequency signals
are ‘steered’ to the correct
radio by the tuning coils.

The ‘Simple’ In-vehicle, Re-broadcast Device.
A practical, if basic, solution. In a vehicle, a separate radio would be used for normal voice comms. The above
device is only switched on when rebroadcast is needed as shown in the next section.
