[Repeater-Builder] Simulcasting of Repeaters

Hi Folks, I know it's been done a lot, but I have no experience in having two repeaters simulcasting. Here's the info: There is an existing repeater that has some coverage issues in a neighboring area. The folks in that area, while still wanting to be on the same output frequency, will put a

Hi Kris, But when the dispatcher was sending tones to both repeaters, isn't that simulcasting? That would be the only time that I could see any kind of issue, as the mobile/portable units wouldn't be transmitting on both at the same time. Thanks, Tim

Here in the county, all the fire repeaters have the same output frequency pl tone, but different input pl tones. They use separate radios for each area (E, W, etc). What they would do in our case would be to allocate (on their console) a different radio for the additional repeater. I believe

Hi Kris, Thanks for the additional information. I've been conversing with Milt off line, and I think the only way this will work will be for them to sequentially dispatch the two different departments. First on on repeater #1, and then on #2. Their thought was to use two different radios with

Most likely they dispatch in sequence - over one repeater than over the other. Joe M. Kris Kirby wrote: On Tue, 24 Nov 2009, Tim Ahrens wrote: But when the dispatcher was sending tones to both repeaters, isn't that simulcasting? That would be the only time that I could see any kind of
