Midian's RIC-8 is a DTMF equipped tone remote controller. Up to eight RIC-8 units can be connected in parallel or in series over a dedicated line. The tone remote controller equipped with DTMF dialing sends DTMF commands to allow the RIC-8 units and their associated repeaters to interoperate. The RIC-8 is a special tone remote adaptor that generates 2175 Hz keying tone when the radio's COR is present. The 2175 Hz keying tone activates only the radios that have received a DTMF activation code from a DTMF equipped tone remote controller or field radio. All disabled RIC-8 units ignore the 2175 Hz keying tone.
Applications
The RIC-8 is used in systems that need interoperability between radios users on different repeaters.
Features:
- Interoperability control mode
- Interoperate up to 8 repeaters
- Simulcast mode
- Tone Remote control mode
- Uses standard DTMF tone format
- 3 year warranty
Up to eight RIC-8 units are connected by a dedicated phone line, telemetry link or microwave to key one another. The RIC-8 looks for a COR indication from the repeater to generate the keying tones.
