DESCRIPTION
Midian's PR-10 is a simplex store and forward repeater (aka simplexor or parrot)
and paging regenerator that supports regeneration of both tone and voice similar
to the discontinued Zetron Model 19.
Simplex Repeater Mode:
The PR-10 can be connected to a simplex
mobile or base station to create a simplex store and forward repeater. When the
PR-10 sees a busy indication from the connected radio it will start recording
the received audio. When the busy indication goes away for a programmed amount
of time, the PR-10 will key the radio and retransmit the recorded audio. The
following are applications for the PR-10 as a simplex repeater:
• Expand
radio coverage into remote locations, tunnels, buildings (hospitals, campuses,
etc), downtown areas and more.
• Evaluate potential radio site or
coverage problems by connecting the PR-10 to a mobile radio. A technician can
then drive through the desired coverage area, key up and transmit voice, unkey
and listen to the repeated audio quality.
Selective Repeat
Mode:
The PR-10 has a tone decoder on the board that can be
programmed to decode 2-Tone, DTMF, 5-Tone or Pulse Tone (1500 Hz or 2805 Hz for
HEAR Systems). When the tone decoder decodes the programmed sequence(s) it will
give a validate output to the PR-10. The validate confirms to the PR-10 that the
PR-10 should repeat the incoming audio. The tones will also be regenerated. The
following are applications for the PR-10 as a selective simplex
repeater:
• Regenerate 2-tone or DTMF pages for fire departments into
remote areas or buildings with poor coverage.
• Regenerate Pulse Tone
pages from ambulances in remote areas with poor coverage to hospitals (HEAR
Systems).
Announcement Mode:
The PR-10 can be programmed
to repeat the last received audio message continuously at programmable
intervals, applications include:
• Broadcasts for road or weather
conditions
• Aviation authority broadcasts for pilot information (ATIS –
Automatic Terminal Information Service)
APPLICATIONS
Midian's PR-10 is ideal for extending coverage into areas with poor
reception, evaluating potential repeater sites and continuously re-broadcasting
voice messages.
INSTALLATION
The PR-10 can easily be connected to many mobile radios using the rear accessory
connector. Midian also offers a number of pre-made cables for many popular
radios.
