What kind of amateur radio station automatically retransmits the signals of other stations?

  • Beacon station
  • Remote-control station
  • Correct Answer
    Repeater station
  • Satellite control station

A 'repeater' is generally located on a hill or tall building. It is meant to extend the range of portables and mobiles. 'Beacons' are one-way automated stations maintained by amateurs which operate on known frequencies to permit evaluating propagation conditions.
