To transmit and receive using this repeater, JFRD radios must be set to which channel?

• A. C-11
• B. Fire 8
• C. A-1
• D. B-3

Answer: (A)

Using the repeater requires tuning to the specific repeater channel so your transmit and receive paths go through the same site. The designated channel for this repeater is labeled A-1, which is pre-programmed to reach that repeater and handle both sending your signal to the repeater and receiving replies from it. When you set the radio to A-1, you establish the two-way link through the repeater you’re trying to use. Other channel options correspond to different paths or talkgroups that aren’t configured to relay through this particular repeater, so they won’t provide the same two-way connection.
