SRPT-02
Users Manual
Overview:
The SRPT-02 is an affordable repeater system
designed for GMRS and Ham Radio enthusiasts. It
offers fast plug-and-play repeater operation and
works with UV-5R compatible two-way radios.
This repeater comes equipped with a built-in
rechargeable battery that can be charged via a
USB C connection, making it an excellent choice
for trips where repeater coverage is unavailable.
The internal battery can provide a weekend's
worth of use on a single charge. This small and
compact device can be easily attached to any
base station or handheld radio for mobile use. It's
simple to use and works right out of the box.
Configuration can be performed using a web
application. The repeater can be powered either
by the internal battery or the USB port located
on the top of the unit. Real-time LED indicators
provide operational status updates. DTMF tone
detection allows you to enable or disable the
repeater directly from the field. Additionally, an
open frame design allows for compactness, and
plastic shields can be attached for added
ruggedness when needed. The SRPT-02 also
supports CCTSS on your radio for added privacy
and interference prevention. Currently, it
supports UV-5R and compatible radios.
