When designing an RF network it is important to know that at least one Master Base
and one End-Point are needed. Repeater bases are used to expand the coverage area
of the RF network. Multiple hops can be used in an RF network design, however great
care should be used to not exceed more than four hops. To count the hops, start from an
end-point, and then add one for each Repeater Base used between the End-Point and the
Master Base. See
