Model
DVR-LX Digital Vehicular Repeater
The DVR-LX is paired with an APX mobile radio to provide the P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS). The DVRS allows Portable Subscriber Units (PSU) to be used in areas where only Mobile Subscriber Unit (MSU) coverage is available and PSU coverage is either intermittent or nonexistent.
Installed in the trunk of a car, fire truck, armored vehicle, ambulance or configured as a Suitcase Mount or Fixed mount VR, the DVRS extends radio communications when the PSU users are outside of the vehicle, inside a nearby building or in any PSU marginal coverage area
