Vince LeGrand Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I know that the ELL's are transceivers, but can they be a repeater? In the only diagrams I have seen that show multiple ELL's being used as transmitters, they show a segment consisting of one ELL as a receiver, one or more controllers, and then a second ELL as a transmitter. I will have a situation where I will have no line-of-sight between segments. I would like to have one segment that has line-of-sight with multiple segments and use it as a "repeater." So, do I need 2 ELL's on that segment to separately handle receive and transmit functions or will one ELL do both?Thanks,Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 The ELL will switch from transmit to receive dynamically. When it receives a signal on the cable it will transmit it; When it receives a signal over the antenna it will send it on the cable.If you put two ELLs on one cable you should set them to different channels. Otherwise the one receiving a signal from the antenna will send it on the wire, which will cause the other one to transmit, which could cause feedback to the first one.Even when you do have them on different channels, they should be located as far from one another as possible.
