Telex RadioCom BTR-300 User manual

BTR-300 & TR-300
Single Channel VHF Fixed Crystal Wireless Intercom
The Telex RadioCom models BTR-300 and TR-300 were specically designed to provide the user with a highly exible wireless
two-way communication system with the capability to interface with a wired intercom system and other auxiliary audio. At
the BTR-300 operator’s command, the remotes may communicate with each other, with a wired intercom system or with an
auxiliary system. The BTR-300 base station with its one transmit and four receive channels is designed to operate in full-
duplex (simultaneous two-way communications) with up to four TR-300 beltpack transceivers. The system operates on selected
frequencies within the 150-216 MHz band. The BTR-300 system is fully compatible with a number of other wired intercom
manufacturers units. As many as four TR-300 beltpack transceivers can operate in a fully duplex network with one Telex
RadioCom model BTR-300 base station.
Unique audio shaping and circuitry and superior RF
design.
Front End Filtering
Band Allocation
Beltpacks can operate at ranges of up to 2000 feet line
of sight.
Extended Battery Life
In Pack Charging
Allows optional NiMH batteries to be recharged without
removing them from the beltpack.
Full Duplex Operation
Allows users to talk and listen simultaneously for more
natural communications.
All metal case for superior shielding
Simultaneous operation and support of up to four base
stations and 16 beltpacks.
Push-to-Talk with Lock-to-Talk feature switch on belt-
pack.
