The Kenwood NXR-1700 (VHF) and NXR-1800 (UHF) is most of our most popular repeaters. The compact design coupled with huge functionality makes it one of our best sellers. We have these deployed across the UK in a huge variety of applications, from schools to factories, super yachts to golf courses.
What does a repeater do?
Put simply, a repeater ‘bounces & amplifies’ your radio signals, to increase range and coverage across your site.
Example: When I stand in the middle of my site, I can hear radio users at either end of the site, but they cannot hear each other.
Typically, the solution will be to deploy the repeater in the centre of the site, with the aerial in a high up position, which is then more reachable by all of the handheld radios across your site. When you transmit now, instead of your radios transmitting directly to one another, they now all transmit to the repeater, which then broadcasts that signal back out all over the site, with more power and in most cases, more range. In cases where sites have geological restrictions (such as a hill in the middle of a site), a repeater at the top of the hill will solve your coverage issues, as like line of site, the top of the hill has a clear path for signals to be transmitted to and from your radios.
With over 30 years of experience supplying two way radio repeaters to thousands of customers across the UK, you have come to right place.
Why don’t we list prices for our repeaters?
As one of the more complex parts of a two-way radio system, there are simply too many variables for us to list prices for, some of which are listed below.
