EMRG has been donated some GE Phoenix SX UHF radios and GE PSX-200 VHF radios. These were made by GE and can be programmed using a computer with a custom interface board and software.
This is a multi phase project, with the first phase to build the programming interface, which is now complete.
The GE Custom MVP is a relatively compact, simple crystal controlled radio. Its value is in it's design, which has a separate Transmit and Receive section. This allows the radio to be modified to allow full duplex (simultaneous Transmit and Receive) operation. The modifications are well documented and NHRC has built a controller that fits inside the radio. Click on the radio to go to the NHRC web page.
EMRG could use these radios for in band repeaters or small portable repeaters.
