THIS IS A SIMPLEX REPEATER IT CONNECTS TO THE EXTERNAL SPEAKER / MICROPHONE JACK ON MOST RADIOS. WHEN A SIGNAL IS RECEIVED IT RE TRANSMITS IT BACK OUT OVER THE AIR. THIS CAN BE USED TO EXTEND THE RANGE OF COMMUNICATION BY 2 TIMES OR MORE DISTANCE.

WE USE THESE A LOT IN NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUPS SO AS TO HAVE 100 % COVERAGE OF THE WHOLE AREA. THE HIGHER THE UNIT IS PLACED IN ELEVATION THE FARTHER IT WORKS. CHURCH GROUPS ARE NOW STARTING TO USE THEM FOR MEMBER WHO WALK TO CHURCH SO THE CAN CALL FOR ASSISTANCE IF NEED.
