how is it possible to use receiver as a repeater?

I had to make a small correction. You need extra transmitter and a receiver to use as a repeater.

Basically, what you do is mount one transmitter (TX #1) on your camera on channel X, then mount another transmitter (TX #2) on a receiver that's to be used as a repeater. The channel on TX #2 should be channel Y. Then, the receiver on the flash should be on channel Y. The receiver being used as a repeater should be on channel X. So, TX #1 triggers the repeater receiver which in turn triggers TX #2. TX #2 then triggers the final receiver.

I tried it in my house and it works quite fine. Now, I haven't tried this in outdoors yet to test the max range doing this. But I suspect that it should work just fine also. If one of you have tried this, please let me know.

Hope this helps.
