Radio repeaters malfunctioning?

[Doug R.]

I guess this could just be the players themselves not hearing each other and repeating themselves, but just in case, I'll report it.

3104-1.15: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "I was under that impression as well Rick. Who are you with if I might ask?"

3104-1.15: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "This is Rau Naedell Blackrock, I'm afraid I do not know a Dragon Lord of any name. What is it you want? I'm a very busy woman."

3104-1.13: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "I was under that impression as well Rick. Who are you with if I might ask?"

3104-1.13: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "This is Rick Marner. As far I know the last leader of Silvertree died recently. And he said he was the last one there. Thats why he left."

3104-1.10: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "This is Rau Naedell Blackrock, I'm afraid I do not know a Dragon Lord of any name. What is it you want? I'm a very busy woman."

[Snickie]

I saw that, too.
No, she didn't repeat herself.
This is what my char saw (with some events edited out):

3104-1.22: Rau Naedell Blackrock says: "*she smacks the top of the radio* Seems a bit broken.....that's not normal."

3104-1.21: You say: "That was later than usual. *she gestures towards the radio*"

3104-1.21: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "Blackrock forest is located on the maps as Longinazy forest east. I am unsure about Silvertree"

3104-1.21: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "Well now at least we know he's a real individual then don't we. I suppose we wait and hear what he has to say, though I do not have the time to sit by the radio all day waiting on the man. As I said, very busy and I have work to do. Thank you for the information Rick"

3104-1.18: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "Not sure where Silvertree is exactly. But its around the forest area around Blojt. Never been there so I'm not sure exactly which one it is."

3104-1.17: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "Blackrock forest is located on the maps as Longinazy forest east. I am unsure about Silvertree"

3104-1.17: You see Rau Naedell Blackrock say into radio Extended Range Radio Transmitter at freq. 100: "Blackrock forest is located on the maps as Longinazy forest east. I am unsure about Silvertree"

3104-1.17: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "Say... where is New Blackrock Forest, Silvertree actually? I've heard about the Blackrocks, but never about Silvertree."

3104-1.17: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "You're welcome. And its funny I could give you that. Its since a long time I was close to a radio."

3104-1.16: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "Well now at least we know he's a real individual then don't we. I suppose we wait and hear what he has to say, though I do not have the time to sit by the radio all day waiting on the man. As I said, very busy and I have work to do. Thank you for the information Rick"

3104-1.16: You see Rau Naedell Blackrock say into radio Extended Range Radio Transmitter at freq. 100: "Well now at least we know he's a real individual then don't we.

Thank you for the information Rick"

3104-1.16: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "Rick Marner again. I just got the information that this lord person came through the town I'm in lately and he said that he had been on a trading trip and was now going home."

3104-1.15: Rau Naedell Blackrock says: "*she blinks and frowns looking to the radio* I hate those things...."

3104-1.15: You say: "Ah, the lovely repeaters."

3104-1.15: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "I was under that impression as well Rick. Who are you with if I might ask?"

3104-1.15: You hear from radio at freq. 100: "This is Rau Naedell Blackrock, I'm afraid I do not know a Dragon Lord of any name. What is it you want? I'm a very busy woman."

It's only what the Rau said that we heard repeated minutes afterwards; everything coming in from elsewhere came in only once.
What's up with that?


Edit:: Odd. Since immediately after I posted that, the repeatings have ceased.

I will also confirm Smick's findings.

I have had another character near a radio, that heard his own message bounce back twice. I jsut figured it was a tiem-delay lag on processing, where the repeaters are "rebroadcasting" properly, and the receiver is picking up that rebroadcast just fine, but a little while after the transmission, due to script-processing lag.
The end result of which is we hear each message twice.

Curious if there's any repeaters near repeaters (like one north of town and one east of town), would that make the messages heard thricely?

A message one of my characters sent on day 3103 was heard again a couple hours later that same day. In both cases of Rau's messages being repeated, my character only saw the message the second time that they were heard by Doug/Snickiedoo. Another character with my character heard the message that my character said twice as well. I'm assuming that Snick's character didn't hear a repeated message on day 3103. The problems seems to vary depending on the location, which is evidence that repeaters are involved, I would think.
