If it transmits and receives on the SAME frequency (SIMPLEX).

What do you call it when messages are recorded and then retransmission
begins right after reception ends? By this definition it would not
constitute a "simplex repeater", right?

Hi Kris,
A D-STAR repeater never decodes the voice, it just bit regenerates
the
signal back to the data stream. Yet it is a repeater for sure per the
FCC. I would say a linear transponder or translator is a repeater
also.
the transmit part is active while the receive part is picking up the
signal. 73, Tom n4zpt

The only interesting wrinkle in this is that a linear transponder
doesn't "retransmit" . The signal is never decoded to baseband and
retransmitted.
Or is it? With I+Q demodulation and remodulation, this could be a
point of argument.
