Installation and Operator Handbook 1 1.1 Introduction INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW This document describes the DRB-25 Dual Radio Base Station system installation procedures, configuration and operational details. The DRB-25, shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, is a compact, multi-mode transceiver package which provides users with one or two analog or APCO Project 25 digital radio channels.
PAGE 3
Installation and Operator Handbook Introduction Figure 1-2 Rear View - DRB-25 The DRB-25 provides one or two independent radios in a single package. Each radio can be used as a base station or a repeater, and may be configured to support both APCO Project 25 compliant digital subscribers as well as providing backwards compatibility to analog users. This means that existing mobile radio equipment need not be immediately retired.
PAGE 4
Installation and Operator Handbook Introduction The DRB-25 provides the following features: • Automatically and concurrently supports the digital mobile and FM analog radios (TIA/EIA 603 including CTCSS selective calling). • VHF (136-174 MHz) or UHF (400-470 MHz) frequency bands. • 60 W or 125 W RF output. • Configurable as single or dual channel with any mix of frequency bands and output power levels.
PAGE 5
Installation and Operator Handbook Introduction • One Transceiver Module. • One Power Amplifier Module. • One Power Supply Module. • One Interface Module (Optional - depending on external interfaces). A dual-channel DRB-25 requires one Controller Module and the following plug-in modules: • Two Transceiver Modules. • Two Power Amplifier Modules. • Two Power Supply Modules. • One Interface Module (Optional - depending on external interfaces).
PAGE 6
Installation and Operator Handbook Introduction A description of the equipment is given in Chapter 2. 1.2.2 Configuration Options The DRB-25 may be configured as a Conventional (i.e. non-trunked) single or dual-channel radio base station. The configuration options are summarized in Tables 1-1 to 1-3 Table 1-1 Mode Of Use DRB-25 Operational Configurations Description Single-channel Repeater The DRB-25 is configured with a single Transceiver, PA and Power Supply.
PAGE 7
Installation and Operator Handbook Introduction Table 1-2 DRB-25 Voice Interconnect Configuration Options Mode of Voice Interconnection Description None The DRB-25 operates as an standalone repeater (single or dual channel) and does not have any external wired voice connections. Handset/ A single channel DRB-25 may be configured with a loudspeaker/handset panel in place of the second channel transceiver module and its associated power amplifier and power supply module.
