Repeater Questions
What is the range of a standard GPS repeater kit?
The standard GPS Source Repeater kit, which includes a GPSRK
amplifier, 50 ft. of LMR240 coaxial cable and an L1A active receive antenna,
has a range of 100ft line of site. This can vary given steel structures such as
ladders, equipment, etc. within this range; however, most applications can rely
on this 100ft signal coverage.

When would I need a GPS Repeater System?
Customers can test receivers and applications where a
direct coaxial connection is not convenient or possible (e.g. emergency
response vehicle or aircraft maintenance facility).
Customers can test receivers and/or applications with
built in integrated antennas enabling testing the entire system.
Customers can test multiple receivers at the same time.

Can I design a custom repeater system for my
facility if the standard repeater kit doesn't fit my application?
Yes, custom repeater systems can be designed to
accommodate virtually any facility or test scenario.
For example, custom repeater systems can be designed for
multiple hangar or garage bays, multiple lab benches or installations
requiring longer coaxial cable runs.
Do the L1/L2 repeater kits only transmit at these frequencies?
Antennas used in GPS Source repeater kits include filtering
to prevent the re-transmission of frequencies outside of the GPS bands. If
the filtering included in the GPS Source antennas is deemed insufficient,
additional filtering can be specified in the GPSRK amplifier.

Should I order an L1 Repeater Kit or an L1/L2 Repeater Kit??
The L1 is standard for consumer or civilian applications. L1/L2 is used in Survey and Military applications.

What does the standard GPS kit come with?
The GPSRKL1, GPSRKL12, and GPSRKL12G repeater kits
include a repeater amplifier with a built in power supply and a gimbal
mount, a passive retransmit antenna. GPS Source PNs GPSRKL1-X*, GPSRKL12-X*
and GPSRKL12G-X* include all of the above plus 50-ft of LMR240 coaxial cable
and an active receive antenna on a pole mount.
Note:* X = 1,2, or 3 and refers to power supply options: -1=110VAC, -2=230VAC, and -3=240VAC
