With the simple addition of your 5 watt handheld radio (or your mobile), the Emergency Communications Box has everything you need to maximize the TX and RX capabilities of your radio in field operations. The Emergency Communications Box provides you with a great set of options and functionality to meet all of your portable communications needs. Built around a 12V sealed AGM battery, the kit includes options for AC and multiple DC charging choices, a 30W RF amplifier, 1/2 wave portable antenna, and a choices of 25W solar panel and AC charging. We have designed this kit to provide all of the parts and pieces in one, compact, waterproof box to provide a stand-alone station for vital communications needs. This kit overcomes the two main limitations of a hand held: limited power and limited antenna range. And unlike the mobile rig in your auto, this is fully portable and can be set up anywhere. Communication is the backbone of emergency response - this ready-to-go box is your key to first response. Emergency Radio Go-Box: FIRST RESPONSE-12 (with Solar)
