Q

Describe simplex Mode

A

Simplex transmissions are radio to radio and are sent and received on the same frequency.
They are “line of sight” and have a limited transmission range local to the area around the
incident and will not be heard throughout the city like on the duplex system. They can
dramatically improve local site communications for incidents where the duplex system is not
providing adequate coverage
