Spread Spectrum Radio System User’s Manual 11
March 2001
The purpose of each status light on top of the Hub is listed in the
following table:
Repeater System
Options
The options available with each repeater are as follows:
• A steel base with three stabilizing outriggers and a support for
the antenna mast provides a means for mounting the
electronics, antenna mast, and solar-power system if
applicable. Each outrigger has a jack stand that can be
manually adjusted to suit the level of the terrain.
• A steel frame with two 15-inch wheels and a standard trailer
hitch converts the fixed configuration to a mobile configuration.
This frame mounts below the fixed base to which the
electronics, mast, and solar system are attached. In this
configuration, the repeater can be easily towed and relocated by
pickup or automobile.
