Sometimes a Relay gets a response from the Base Station that is partial data or garbage. The T erminal retransmits its data since it has not received a new prompt. If this occurs ten times, the RF T erminal broadcasts, “who can hear me”. A t this point the Relay is still functioning and answers the RF T erminal’ s ca ll. Should the Relay resp[...]

cable distance allowable. The gating factor for the application is almost always going to be the application pr ogram.
