Ham Radio Extenders

Ham radio extenders, also known as repeaters, are devices that receive radio signals from a ham radio transmitter and then rebroadcast them at a higher power and often at a different location. This process effectively extends the communicating range, allowing amateur radio operators to talk over much greater distances than a direct radio contact would permit. Repeaters are typically positioned on tall structures or elevated areas to maximize coverage. They are essential tools for hams to maintain communication across wide areas, especially during emergencies or community events, enabling reliable and widespread radio contact.
