It appears to me at times Sectors that have large areas of geographic coverage that I hear "patched" aircraft repeated on the frequency I am talking to Center on.
This is evident by the "processing" of the audio and the hang time after the aircraft makes it's transmission.
Not all aircraft are patched or repeated onto a given frequency.
Many times sectors simulcast over several transmit channels and one will not hear the aircraft reply.What I am curious about is relayed or patched aircraft onto a given frequency.
Anybody have an idea of how and why this is done?
