apex fd got 'better' radio coverage
'better' = we paid lots of money for this and we will never admit in a
million years that it made things worse - which it may very well have
- see the previous tweet from Missouri
if you dont know the difference between 'simplex' / 'direct' - and -
'repeater' - then you can spend $1B on new radios ; and things will
only get worse
==============================
simplex aka direct = radio waves go direct from radio 1 to radio 2
repeater = radio waves go thru a radio repeater station on top of a
mountain or tall bld or huge antenna tower or breadbox
radio repeater station = 2 boxes that sit up on a high spot - box 1
has a radio receiver that listens to freq 1 - box 2 has a radio
transmitter that transmits on freq 2 - there is a wire from box 1 TO
box 2 that immediately ships any radio signals received by box 1 to
box 2 - said radio traffic is then transmitted forthwith by box 2 in
the confines of the something something - dont ya love the NYC jargon?
