Due to the remote terrain and amount of distance between radio repeater towers in Navajo County, the Sheriff’s Office’s handheld 5-watt radios do not have the strength to reach existing repeater towers. Navajo County would like to purchase vehicle radio repeaters and components that allow users to communicate using existing 5-watt handheld radios out in the field. The handheld radio wave signals will be transmitted through the vehicle repeater. The repeater will be connected to the existing 50-watt radio inside the vehicle. The repeaters installed in NCSO vehicles will allow the 5-watt transmissions from users to transfer through the vehicle radio and broadcast as 50-watt transmissions to and from dispatch. 1. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 1.1 EQUIPMENT/COMPONENTS: NCSO is seeking bids for the following: o Pyramid SVR-350 Guardian Analog Vehicular Repeater UHF 380-470 MHz 12.5 KHZ, or equivalent; o P-25 Combability (For repeaters that configure P-25 as a separate option); o Compatible Interface Cables with EVRS+ Support for existing radio models: • L3Harris XL200M • Kenwood NX5700 • Motorola 5550 o 360 MHz High Pass Filters Including Coax Jumper Cables
