Note the thing on the top of the mobile
radio. It's called a BlueBox! It doesn't have to be on top of the
radio. It can be on the bottom or within several feet as desired. We put it on top to make a couple of points. Point One is it shows
up better in the picture. Point Two is to challenge a long held theory that
VHF-To-VHF vehicle repeaters don't work as a result of a technical issue known
as Desense.
The BlueBox DOES work as a VHF-To-VHF vehicle repeater, so well in fact that one of our customers reports that a regular VHF portable can talk and receive with the full performance of the associated mobile at distances of up to two miles away through a BlueBox! In plain language, this means that one BlueBox, mounted in one fire truck, allows users with portable radios to talk to dispatch just as if they were talking on the mobile! More importantly, they are not limited to a range of a few hundred feet and they can use their existing portable or a brand new one for less than $200!
So, what we are talking about is a single device priced at less than half the cost of the most commonly used vehicle repeater. The BlueBox requires nothing more than adding (or using an existing) channel for control of the associated mobile. And, we can use this same BlueBox along with a $200 portable to give law enforcement officers the ability to talk through an associated digital trunked radio system such as MotoTRBO or MSWIN!
