Motorola SLR 1000 — 10W IP65 Single-Site Repeater with Built-In AC/DC Power
The compact single-site DMR repeater: 10W RF output in VHF and UHF, IP65-rated for direct outdoor installation without a shelter, integrated AC/DC power supply (no external PSU box), operating temperature -30°C to +60°C, and 100% duty cycle for continuous retransmission. The argument: for campus, warehouse, and construction teams that need reliable licensed coverage across one site, the SLR 1000 delivers a weatherproof, all-in-one infrastructure node at entry cost — no site power engineering, no tower shelter, no wide-area licensing burden.
Hytera RD98X — 50W IP65 Wide-Area Repeater with XPT Enhanced Virtual Trunking
The wide-area DMR repeater: 50W RF output with built-in power supply and IP65 enclosure, engineered for multi-site networks with Hytera XPT enhanced virtual trunking that pools channels across sites for spectrum efficiency. The argument: at 50W versus 10W the RD98X carries a +7 dB output advantage (10·log10(50/10) ≈ 7 dB), which under free-space path loss extends coverage radius to roughly 2x — and about 1.5x in real terrain — making it the infrastructure choice for mining, port, and large campus estates where one high-power node replaces several low-power nodes and XPT trunking adds capacity on demand.
