REPEATER TYPE AND ACCESSORY NEEDS
This section will help you determine what types and quantity of repeaters, if any, you will need
to achieve your data transmission goals.
DETERMINING STATION/REPEATER LAYOUT
First, determine your weather station(s) layout.
Do you have?
• One weather station in your proposed layout? or
• Multiple weather stations located in one general area?
And,
• Are you transmitting data back to one central location? or
• Are multiple receivers located in one general area?
If the answer to either of the first questions is yes, and the answer to either of the second
questions is yes, then you can apply a single chain configuration. Whether you need one or
more repeaters is a question of distance and whether there are any obstructions in your
proposed transmission path.
If the answer to both questions above in either section is no, you probably need to employ
multiple chains to your repeater layout. In this case, you will need to determine your repeater
needs for each branching chain of your system layout, and add the results together to determine
the total number and type of repeaters you will need.
Note: You cannot exceed a total of eight repeaters in one chain regardless of repeater type.
There are other situations where weather stations are located in opposite directions from where
the data is to be received. Less common, you may transmit data from one weather station to
