This invention is a method (and an apparatus in combination) for sweep testing of cable television distribution systems and the like, wherein time division multiplexing between test signal and program signal is accomplished in such manner as to eliminate interference to the program signal due to testing. Additionally, the test signal received by the detector is time demultiplexed in such manner that the test signal is displayed clearly without interfering signals.

Method and apparatus for television distribution system sweep testing

A mobile radio extension unit for converting a conventional mobile transceiver having a transmitter and a receiver to use as a repeater or transponder for establishing a bidirectional communications link between a transceiver of limited range and a base station or other mobile transceivers in the network. In a mobile communications system network having a plurality of extension units, associated mobile radios, and limited range transceivers, each extension unit includes means for automatically inhibiting multiple transmissions by units within range of one another and for providing punch through priority communications from a limited range transceiver to the base station or other mobile transceivers via one selected extension unit when the receiver associated therewith is repeating a communication to the transceiver.
