Repeaters are devices comprised of both receiver and transmitter
sections, which are used to extend the range of a transmitted signal.
It does this by receiving a weak signal on one channel and retransmitting
the signal (at the same time) on a second channel, at higher power.
The TAC COM 2005 has special features that extend its capabilities for
surveillance operations. These include a phono output for direct
connection from the repeater to a recorder, an optional HOT MIC for full
time audio signal transmissions, and an optional scrambler to encrypt any
of the TAC COM transmitted signals. In addition to receiver and transmitter options, the TAC COM is capable of connecting with an array of
directional and covert antennas through the use of its standard BNC
antenna connector.
WARNING: Never place the repeater with antenna attached in a
closed trunk of a car. You will degrade your range to the extent that
the repeater is useless.
TIP: DTC recommends the use of highly efficient antennas, such as
the ANT-3 Cellular disguise antenna.
