Typical Repeater Deployment Scenario
This is the most common deployment scenario for our portable repeaters when being used to improve radio coverage for field teams in difficult terrain.
People Often Ask....
What's the range?
We get it, range is an important consideration when relying on a portable repeater.
Range is a specifications that is highly dependent on terrain and where you choose to deploy the repeater.
The antenna system, and where you choose to deploy it, has the biggest impact on range.
The Lite-Link portable repeater comes with a high-performance antenna system.
For best results, deploy it in a high location that maximizes the view over your desired coverage area.
We've had some customers experience a range of up to 100 km (62 miles) when the repeater has been placed on mountain peaks.
Keep in mind, this product is designed to be used in localized areas for temporary projects in difficult terrain, such as a Search & Rescue operation.
What's the battery life?
A single P20 Battery Pack will power a Lite-Link portable repeaters for approximately 3 days*.
Two P20 Battery Packs are included with this portable repeater system. Both battery packs can be connected to the repeater simultaneously to longer run-time.
*Run-times may vary depending on usage and conditions. These values are based on calculations that may or may not account for unforeseen usage, technical and environmental circumstances.
Can I program it myself?
Basically, No.....not unless you have an experienced technician and an RF service monitor.
The repeater module is supported by an RF duplexer, which is a highly sensitive filtering device that comes pre-tuned to your desired frequencies.
If you want to program other frequencies into this portable repeater, you'll need to either re-tune the duplexer to match, or get an alternate duplexer tuned to your new frequencies and then swap the duplexers out.
It's all doable, but not by the end-user.
Give us a call to discuss options if you need to add frequencies to your Lite-Link.
Can I connect this to solar?
Yes. While we don't supply the components for a solar power system, we do include a battery accessory cable with lugs that let you connect a large, deep-cycle battery as the power source. From there, you can add your own solar panels and solar charge controller for the battery.
That being said, this portable repeater has a very low standby power draw, and depending on your usage time-frame and the amount of transmitting you do through the repeater, a deep-cycle battery could potentially run a Lite-Link portable repeater for a weeks before needing a charge.
Why is the repeater 5 watts?
A lot of people think more power is better.
In fact, it is not.
Since this portable repeater was designed to be used with field teams operating handheld radios, which are also 5 watts, we opted to use a 5 watt power output on the Lite-Link repeater as well.
Doing this, results in a balanced communication system that ensures the repeater can't out perform the handheld radios.
Do I need a frequency licence?
Yes. In Canada & the USE you do need a repeater frequency license in the area where you plan to use the repeater.
This is a simple process in Canada, and we can assist you with it.
In Canada, the licences are provided and enforced by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).
