 Getting 

Started 

 

 

 

The LPA-Series receiver is designed for interface to existing wired Public Address 
systems to allow PA announcements using VHF or UHF business band, FRS, or 
MURS radios.   

 

 

Major Benefit: 

The LPA receiver allows all the wired speakers in a PA/Intercom system immediately accessible via a 

2-way radio/base station/ etc. The LPA receiver can be connected to an existing wired system. An 

LM and LPA receiver system can be used side-by-side on the same frequency.

 

 

What is The Difference b/w The LM-V150/U450 Receiver and The LPA-V150/U450 Receiver? 

  The LM Receiver (#LM-V150/U450) has a built-in audio amplifier. The built-in audio amplifier allows the LM receiver 

by itself to drive up to 2 Ritron PA horn speakers. The LM receiver and included PA Horn speaker is what we call a 

stand-alone wireless PA system. 

  LPA Receiver (#LPA-V150/U450) does not have a built-in PA amplifier. The LPA receiver is designed to be 

connected to an existing PA/intercom system with its own PA amplifier and wired speakers.  

  The LPA receiver does not include a back-up battery since it is merely a component of a larger system usually 

powered by AC and its own battery back-up system. 

 
Features/Benefits: 

  Available in VHF (150-162 MHz) and UHF (450-470MHz) frequency bands.  Provides compatibility with business 

band 2-way radios, License-FREE VHF business band radios (MURS), Family Radio Service and GMRS radios. 

  Provides interconnection to the Public Address amplifier through a high impedance, unbalanced AUX input 

OR

 a 

600

Ω

, balanced MIC input.  Allows personnel to remain mobile while providing access via 2-way radio access to 

existing PA speakers located throughout the facility. 

  If the AUX input of the PA/Intercom amplifier is already used (ie: stereo tuner for background music) the LPA-

Series is installed in-between the audio source (stereo tuner) and the PA/Intercom amplifier.  When the LPA-Series 

receives a message the audio source is interrupted and the received message is sent to the PA/Intercom amplifier 

instead. 

  “Record and Play” allows use of radios in close proximity to PA speakers without feedback. The LPA-Series 

records/buffers received messages up to 30 seconds in length, then plays them over the PA immediately after 

releasing the PTT button on the radio.  

  Easy “Plug and Play” installation. 

  Programmable volume control adjusts 

audio output level 5-99%. Allows custom 

adjustment for most applications.  

AUX OUT

the high impedance,

  Selective signaling includes QC, DQC,

  Pre-announce tone (similar to existing PA 

systems) with programmable on/off and 

volume level. 

  NOAA Weather Alert (VHF only). 

  Field or PC programmable to frequencies 

within the respective band (i.e. 150-165 

MHz, 450-470 MHz). 

  The LPA-Series is for interface only to an 

existing PA system, it cannot drive a 

loudspeaker by itself. 

  The LPA-Series is for indoor use ONLY.
