Abstract: A surge locating system and a method thereof which can accomplish the surge locating with high accuracy and with relatively simple structure. When the surge occurs, the voltage is generated on the neutral point of Y-connected three-phase alternating current transmission line because of losing a voltage balance on the three-phase alternating current transmission line. The surge locating can be accomplished by detecting the voltage generated in the neutral point. The neutral point is grounded, and the surge locating system according to the present invention is installed between the neutral point and the grounding point. The voltage generated in the neutral point is introduced into the surge locating system and the detecting time thereof is stored. This detecting time is stored in the respective stations, and the surge point can be located based on the detecting time difference between the stations.

Abstract: A radio relay communication system wherein a signal transmitted from active one of a plurality of radio units is received and recorded. When the transmission operation of the particular radio unit stops, the recorded signal is reproduced and transmitted by a relay unit, and another radio unit receives the signal from the relay unit. A relay start signal is transmitted from the first radio unit. and is received by the relay unit. In response to the relay start signal, the relay unit generates a sync signal of predetermined period. The first radio unit, in accordance with the reception of the sync signal, transmits an input signal as compressed to less than one half along the time axis. The relay unit alternates between the period of receiving the compressed signal and the period of transmission in synchronism with the sync signal.

Abstract: In radio communication system in which single frequency simultaneous transmission and reception is performed, a speech audio signal is divided by a predetermined time interval. A transmission time and a reception time are allotted in the predetermined time. A time-compressed signal is transmitted during the transmission time, and a time-compressed signal transmitted from other transceiver is received during the reception time and it is decompressed to the original length. The transmission time and the reception time are alternately repeated to transmit and receive the audio signals substantially simultaneously by a single frequency, and the audio signal is reproduced from the received signal. When communication with a telephone set is to be established, a DTMF signal is used as a dialing signal to call the telephone set from the transceiver. The DTMF signal is time-compressed and then transmitted along with the speech signal.
