Vehicle repeaters are designed to interface between a high power mobile radio and a low power handheld portable. If the radio user is out of his vehicle and the mobile radio is receiving a transmission, the device will repeat the signal to the user’s portable. The user may also transmit back to the device via their portable, and the transmission will be repeated back to base by the high power mobile radio, effectively extending the range of the low power portable to that of the mobile.
An on-board logic control by the microprocessor ensures that only one vehicle will become active as the repeater, should several vehicles equipped with repeaters arrive at the same scene. The logic control also handles cases where the priority vehicle leaves the scene or another priority vehicle arrives from another scene.
