  • Page 15: Receive And Transmit

    RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT Talk Range The IC-40Jr is designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. However, the single most impor- tant factor in transmit range is your surrounding environment. These radios are “line of sight” radios and as such, transmission range is influenced by the degree to which you can “see”...
  • Page 16: Repeater Operation

    REPEATER OPERATION A repeater amplifies received signals and re-transmits them on a different channel, allowing you to communicate over greater dis- tances with improved reliability. When using a repeater, the transmit channel is shifted from the receive channel by 30 channels. Please ask you dealer regarding repeater availability in your local area.
