Repeater Controller

Easy installation

With an easy installation allowing even a non experienced person do do it. It's only necessary some connections: Audio and COR (Carried Operated Relay) from receiver, audio and PTT from transmitter and a 12V power source.

 Functions controlled at distance using any DTMF keypad

With the exception of audio levels adjustments, callsign setup with terminal software on your computer, other functions are controlled by any DTMF keypad. With no exceptions, other repeater controllers require complex and hard to memorizes commands. To facilitate the operation we created an extremely easy to assimilate commands that you send through your own radio transceiver.

Repeater operation start with tone burst, a single DTMF sign or carrier

Morse and Voice ID ( with optional voice modul )

Three ID modes are available

CW Mode: The repeater identification is done by a Morse message up to 6 characters where tone and speed are adjustable.

Mix Mode: If the repeater is being used at the time of the identification, first voice ID and than MORSE ID. 

Voice Mode: the repeater start with  voice ID

All the ID modes can be configured to your setup intervals.

Two Output Switches and two Alarm Inputs

Two digital outputs switches are available for control equipments at your repeater site. These outputs can be used to activate relays to control appliances or any other devices. You can turn the outputs on, off or pulse.

There are also two alarm inputs available. They can be used to monitor system failure or any other event. When an alarm input is triggered an eight sign MORSE word will be send to the warning the users. The second input can be connected to a reed-switch at door of the repeater site to alarm users in case of unauthorized opening of the door. In this particular case, a other MORSE word will be heard over the radio to indicate alert. The repeater can still be used when the alert is activated because voice has higher priority, roger beep is switched off.

About 900 Units "WX-Steuerung" controllers are present in many countries.
