ECHO5 – User Guide, 1.0.3 Introduction © TTI Law Enforcement ONLY Operating Frequencies The frequencies available on the ECHO5 are spaced in 12.5 kHz steps. Simply put, “12.5 kHz steps” means your frequency must be in any of the following configurations: xxx . x000 xxx . x125 xxx . x250 xxx . x375 xxx . x500 xxx . x625 xxx . x750 xxx . x875 This gives the ECHO5 the ability to transmit on any one of 40 available frequencies. To change frequencies press the freq. button on the front panel of the ECHO5, the receive and transmit frequencies are displayed on the LCD. The cursor will blink on the RX frequency, by pressing the up or downs buttons on the front panel the frequency will scroll in 12.5 kHz steps. Press the freq button again and the cursor will blink on the TX frequency, scroll the frequency by using the up and down buttons.

ECHO5 – User Guide, 1.0.3 Introduction © TTI Law Enforcement ONLY Range of the ECHO5 Repeater It is impossible to state absolutes about how far an RF transmitter like the ECHO5 will transmit. Many variables affect the range of a device including buildings, trees, weather, construction materials, installation, etc. All things being perfect (meaning transmissions are outdoors over flat terrain with no obstructions), a 2 watt transmitter should be able to easily transmit over 2 mile. You should expect less distance than that however, in a real world operation. One of the most important variables, and one that the operator can actually control, is the placement of the receiver and the receiving antenna. A good rule to follow is the higher the antenna placement, the better chance you have of quality reception. This alone will increase your operating range. © TTI Law Enforcement ONLY
