The Zetron Model 38 is a flexible repeater panel that provides individualized repeater service
to up to 60 or 68 different customer groups. It is a complete interface between a transmitter

functions. It can be remote-controlled from a variety of sources. The Model 38A is equipped
with an RS-232 serial port for connection to computers and modems. An internal database
keeps track of all airtime use and, for accounting purposes, downloads into a PC. Nearly all
