The Rapid Deployment Portable Repeater (RDPR) is designed to extend range and to facilitate inter operability with other radio platforms used in the Military, or any Commercial, or Public Safety situation where extended range is critical. Mounted in a small, mobile and durable pelican case, the repeater is man portable or can be mounted in a vehicle. The tactical radio repeater connects any two radios of the same type to double their effective range, or up to three different types to function as a Translator.
