Repeater Configuration/Architecture
Vantage Pro2 Wireless Repeaters are used to enhance the transmission range and capabil-
ities between a station, or multiple stations, and a console. A repeater receives signals 
transmitted from a Vantage Pro2 station and retransmits it to a console, wireless Vantage 
Pro2 Envoy, or another repeater. Depending on transmission distance, one repeater or 
several repeaters can be used to collect and retransmit weather data.
This section describes some of the Vantage Pro2 transmission situations and station net-
works in which a repeater or set of repeaters can be used. 
Repeater Architecture
Two general types of repeater configurations are discussed in this chapter: Single 
Repeater configurations and Advanced Repeater configurations. A single repeater con-
figuration describes any situation in which one repeater is needed to transmit a signal 
from one station to one receiver (console or Envoy).
Advanced repeater configuration describes any architecture where one or more stations 
and one or more repeaters are combined to form a network of transmitters. For example, 
if a station is placed some distance away from a console that a single repeater is not in 
range of the console, multiple repeaters can be set up across the distance to transmit 
weather data to the console, in a chain. Another advanced repeater configuration might 
involve one or more stations transmitting to a repeater. It is also possible to create a net-
work using a combination of multiple transmitters and repeaters. 
Note: 
All range estimates used in the examples below are based on the maximum “line of sight” transmis-
sion distance of 1000’. Transmission distance vary based on location and site limitations. 
Refer to the repeater configuration section that best suits the intended repeater applica-
tion.
Single Repeater Configuration
Use a single repeater as part of a single station, single console setup when the distance 
between that station and the console is greater than the maximum transmission distance 
of 1000' but less than 2000', where one station can not successfully communicate with a 
receiver.
