The hardware is based on modified Nokia BSR450 UHF Repeater Base
Station, transceiver & receiver comprise of separate modules
& the PA Unit all enclosed within their own die cast housing,
and the PA is directly mounted on the large rear heat-sink. The
RF Power Output is 1 - 40 Watts on a continuous duty basis.
The Nokia BSR450 is supplied with an "N" Type connector
for the transmitter, and a BNC connector for the receiver to allow
easy connection to the diplexer or feeder cables. The rear panel
includes a 9 and 25 way D sub connector that allow easy connection
to external accessories such as other radios, control equipment
or shared tone panel. All housed within one 4RU equipment cabinet.
