Hi
I'm new here.
I've been tasked with researching, procuring and installing a commercial radio network.
It needs to be low cost, simple to use handsets with not too many buttons for untrained people to use, robust, encrypted and should have a system in place should a handset become lost that it can be disabled.
I will need around 5 repeaters to cover the various sites.
I have 2 sites that are around 20KM apart.
This network will be set up In Asia. There isn't any issues with licences or freq allocations so I can use what ever I want.
The repeaters will be set up in a rural area with small towns and villages. It is a developing country so there isn't any internet there. So I couldn't really use IP connect in this situation.
Is there anyway to use the repeaters radio signal as the connections between the repeaters?
All of the sites we will be using generators as there isn't any mains electricity.
What kind of range would I expect the portable radios to have to the repeaters if the repeaters were elevated on a 2 story building with the surounding area flat with only single story buildings?
Would the DR3000 repeater be able to cover this 20km distance to the next repeater site?
What is the max range in an open flat area of the DR3000 with the antenna of a 10m height?
Would the MTR3000 be more suitable? are they compatible with each other?
does the DP3400 need an encryption board? or is encryption built in?
Would the GP340 be a suitible handset? what kind of range would these have going to the repeaters?
Thanks for your help
