2.3 Product Specifications 

 
The DSPbR Series repeater is designed for configuration in a number of popular bands. 
 
RFFE and RFBE modules with corresponding BPFM’s for both up and downlinks are currently available in the 
following RF bands; 400-420MHz, 450-470MHz, 470-490MHz, 805-825MHz and 850-870MHz 
 
RF Industries will be adding bands to the current list during our program of continued development. Please 
contact our offices for an update on band availability if your required band is not already listed.
