Repeater Frequency Key

This is a setting that is only used by repeaters. The Use Repeater Frequency Key checkbox must be selected when you want a repeater to use a Frequency Key other than that of the gateway.

This is useful when there are parallel repeaters in a network, and you want to force communications through a particular repeater. When this setting is used, the repeater will receive on the Frequency Key of the upstream gateway (or repeater), and transmit on its Frequency Key setting (which typically is set to a different value than the gateway).

By default, the Use Repeater Frequency Key checkbox is left cleared, which causes the repeater to transmit on the gateway Frequency Key.

NOTE:

When the Repeater Frequency Key checkbox is left cleared, the Frequency Key setting should match that of the gateway or of the repeater acting as the gateway for that transceiver.
