Lite-Link Portable Radio Repeater System - Full Package
The Ultimate Rapid Deploy Portable Repeater
Conquer signal-blocking terrain features and extend the range of portable and mobile radios—use a Lite-Link Portable Repeater to improve your radio communications
Whether you're working in remote locations, running a special event, or responding to a crisis—good radio coverage is the key to a smooth operation.
Yet good two-way radio communications are often compromised due to:
- Signal-blocking terrain features such as mountains or buildings.
- An operational area that is too vast.
- Lack of communications infrastructure.
Lite-Link portable repeaters are optimized to work with handheld radios during field operations and events. Our portable repeaters can be set up in less than three minutes to expand your two-way radio coverage area— improving communications, safety and productivity.
A Low Power Portable Repeater System:
Extremely low standby power consumption means this repeater operates from lightweight, portable battery packs that are easily deployed.
Every Lite-Link Portable Repeater comes standard with a DTMF decoder so the repeat function can be remotely enabled or disabled. When the repeater is deployed but not required, it can be put into standby mode to save battery power.
Rapid Deployment:
No technical configuration or tools are necessary for setup. You don’t even need to open the case. Simply connect an antenna, plug in the power and start communicating.
Designed for simplicity and rapid deployment, Lite-Link Portable Repeaters are shipped ready for use. The plug-and-play assembly with intuitive connections for an antenna and power ensure a correct set-up every time. The automatic power-on feature and absence of any user controls means that this repeater can be deployed by even the least technical person on your team.
Industry-Leading Size and Portability:
Get maximum performance with minimal weight! Lite-Link Portable Repeaters boast an industry-leading compact, lightweight and user-friendly design that is ideal for fast-response situations and carrying over difficult terrain. Originally designed for Search and Rescue responders, Lite-Link repeaters are optimized for improving two-way radio coverage for field personnel who are using handheld, portable radios.
Extremely Rugged:
We've packaged our Lite-Link repeater electronics and batteries into Pelican brand cases with weatherproof power and antenna connections to perform in the most demanding environments.
- Built-in over-the-air "low battery" alert beep.
- Built-in mobile duplexer for VHF and UHF modules.
- Extremely low power consumption.
- DTMF decode function for remotely enabling/disabling standby mode.
- Compact size for easy transportation.
- Lightweight.
- Rapidly deployed by non-technical people.
- No tools required for set-up.
- Linkable - two cross-band repeaters can be linked together for longer-range communications.
- Flex-Power Technology*
*Flex-Power Technology
The Lite-Link Portable Repeater Module can operate from multiple power sources simultaneously. Every repeater has two power ports that accept 12 Volt DC power. These ports are isolated, enabling the user to connect either:
- One external 12 VDC battery pack.
- Two external 12 VDC battery pack simultaneously to increase run-time.
- One 12 VDC power supply and one external 12 VDC battery simultaneously. In this case the battery provides back-up power should the power supply fail.
- DC Vehicle Power Adapter for vehicular applications.
- Dual power ports allow for “hot-swapping” batteries without powering down the repeater.
*To ensure proper compliance with Industry Canada requirements, repeaters cannot be programmed with unlicensed frequencies. Please specify frequencies when ordering. We can assist with Industry Canada radio license applications if required.
Repeater:
- Frequency Range: Available in VHF, UHF or cross-band
- VHF Range = 142 – 174 MHz
- UHF Range = 450 - 490 MHz
- Mobile duplexers are 6-cavity *
- Sub-audible Tones: up to 8
- Cross-band = VHF (142 -174 MHz) / UHF (450 - 490 MHz)
- Cross-band only: maximum 8 channels VHF, and 8 channels UHF
- Channel Bandwidth: 12.5 KHz (narrowband) or 25 KHz (wideband)
*Note - VHF and UHF repeaters require a minimum 4.5MHz separation between the transmit and receive frequencies. The repeater radio and built-in mobile duplexer will be programmed and tuned to your licensed frequencies prior to shipping.
*To ensure proper compliance with Industry Canada requirements, repeaters cannot be programmed with unlicensed frequencies. Please specify frequencies when ordering. We can assist with Industry Canada radio license applications if required.
