By this definition it would not constitute a "simplex repeater", right?

Yet it is a repeater for sure per the FCC. I would say a linear transponde r or translator is a repeater also. the transmit part is active while the receive part is picking up the signal. 73, Tom n4zpt Kris Kirby wrote: > The only interesting wrinkle in this is that a linear transponder > doesn't "retransmit" .
