The TMC Radio ‘Simplest’ Repeater
This is probably the method that most teams initially looked at and the one several teams now
use. It works fine with a little training and it’s only real fault is the need for three radios and two
aerials for each vehicle. Having said that, it’s a very flexible and reliable method of setting up a
vehicle rebroadcast system and some teams may need to go no further than this.
To run the system efficiently, you do need to have the facility to switch off the pair of radios
making up the rebroadcast section. They really only need to be powered up when the
rebroadcast is in use.
