German term or phrase: mit Tochter (in this context)
Hello all!
This is from the specifications for a yacht. These include "Radio Zeeland Compass mit Tochter" and "RZ. Auto Pilot mit Tochter". Does this mean something like "backup system" or "spare", or something completely different!

Many thanks!

Hilary.

Explanation:
Have a look the website which is partly in English, partly in German. There are a few instruments "mit Tochter" mentioned and their English equivalent says "with repeater".
