Hi all.
Local comm company is quoting XPR-8400 repeaters with LMR-400 for the repeater antenna. They are also suggesting the VHF link radios(proposing XPR-4500 series to link to the existing site) can be run in digital, and be used to link the repeaters once they go full digital down the road.
This is for adding a couple of sites to improve existing coverage. We will be analogue for a while to come. Going digital is a couple of years out, as subscriber equipment can be purchase over time.
I am trying to steer the organization, and trying to push them towards SLR-5700 series.
Any internal photos would help, as I just do not believe the XPR-8400 will stand up over time, especially given the poor performance of the XPR-8300 repeaters. They will be in unseated shelters and the outside temperatures can vary from -40 to +30 degrees Celsius.
