Mesh network. In the same manner that a DX-Link can act as a gateway, a Rad-DX that is connected to a PC via a USB cable can also act as a gateway. Again, this can only be done using the DX-View on your PC. - Page 15 Figure 10: Sample USB Power Adapter Figure 11: DX-Link as a Repeater You can now extend the range of communication between the Rad-DX and the monitoring PC. If more range is needed, add more DX-Link repeaters. DX-Links can be used interchangeably as a gateway or a repeater as long as they are on the same mesh channel.
