FAQs
Yes, the VHF and UHF versions of the R1 repeater include a duplexer, which allows simultaneous transmission and reception using a single antenna.
However, if you customize the GMRS version, it does not include a duplexer.
Using One Antenna:
If you are using the VHF or UHF version (which has a duplexer), you only need one antenna for both transmission (TX) and reception (RX).
Using Two Antennas:
If you are using the GMRS version (which does not have a duplexer), you need two antennas—one for transmitting and one for receiving.
The real output power is 25W. But it's important to note that the actual output power can be affected by several factors. For example: antenna type and placement, environmental conditions, distance and interference, etc.
