Vehicular Repeater System 2. INTRODUCTION The Futurecom DVRS® Vehicular Repeater is designed to interface to a range of mobile radios and control heads. It permits expanded operation of portable radios. The Vehicular Repeater system consists of. a mobile radio, DVRS® Vehicular Repeater unit, a mobile radio Control Head and a RF multiplexer. The Control Head communicates with the Vehicular Repeater and the mobile using a serial data protocol.
Vehicular Repeater System System Repeat Mode In the SYSTEM repeat mode, both the Mobile Radio and the Vehicular Repeater are enabled at the same time to permit the full exchange of communications among nearby portable radio users, the mobile radio user and the dispatcher and other users on the Mobile Radio channel. Signals received by the Vehicular Repeater receiver are heard in the mobile speaker and may also be retransmitted by both the Vehicular Repeater and Mobile transmitters at the same time.
Vehicular Repeater System ‘Opt’ ‘Home Menu’ ‘Sel’ LED Indicators for: ‘Mobile Transmit’ (Red LED) ‘Mobile Receiver Busy’ (Orange LED) Display: Alphanumeric LCD (with backlighting) Indicators are provided to display the receiver and transmitter status of the mobile. The ‘Mobile Transmit’ red indicator lights whenever the mobile transmitter is keyed. The ‘Mobile Receiver Busy’ orange indicator lights whenever the receiver is busy, regardless of presence or absence of any CTCSS (Channel-Guard) tone coding.
Vehicular Repeater System 3. OPERATION CONTROL HEAD The Repeater Control Head selects mode of operation for both the Repeater and the Mobile Radio. To Turn the Repeater ON or OFF Press the button in the Volume knob located on the left side of the control unit. The display should become active when the system turns ON. A test message appears briefly on the display.
