PROGRAMMING MULTIPLE
REPEATERS
SETTING UP MULTIPLE REPEATERS
IN A SINGLE LOCATION (MULTIPLE
USER GROUPS)
As the repeater has 16 different programmable
channels to choose from for setting up the TX/RX
frequency pairs, it is possible to configure multiple
repeaters in the same location or around the same
area.
Whenever you need to expand the 2-way radios’
coverage in the same area but for different user’s
groups, you can use multiple repeaters (in
different channels) located at the same site. To
ensure that the different groups do not interfere
with each other and that each group has their
private communications, each repeater and the
radios set must have different channel settings
(please refer to "Antenna Installation Instructions"
on page 19 and "Programming The Repeater" on
page 38 for more information).
Additionally, in order to minimize the interferences
in the multi-repeater system (due to inter-
modulation) you can follow these optional
configuration recommendations:
1.
The repeaters should be physically separated at
least 5 feet apart from each other.
2.
Ensure that the frequencies chosen do not have
any interference with other user’s frequencies
or signals in the area. (You can do this by
following up with a FCC Coordinator and/or by
using an RF Analyzer Spectrum device).
