Repeaters
Ham Radio Repeaters in Northern Utah
Repeaters are devices that receive a signal on one frequency and retransmit it on another frequency, usually with greater power. This allows ham radio operators to communicate over longer distances and with improved signal quality. Northern Utah has a wide network of repeaters covering most of the region.
