YAESU DR-1X 144/430 Dual Band C4FM/FM Digital Repeater

The YAESU DR-1X is a digital/conventional FM dual mode repeater that covers the VHF and UHF amateur radio bands. It was developed for use with System Fusion. Replacing your conventional FM repeater with the DR-1X will provide continued use of conventional FM communication while integrating the use of digital communication functions through its unique AMS capability.
The DR-1X is the final release of our popular DR-1 repeater that was released for Beta testing earlier this year. The DR-1X includes several hardware and software changes that improve reliability and external interfacing capabilities.
** Duty cycle is 50% at 50 Watts, 100% at 20 Watts in a climate controlled environment

Easy Migration.... The repeater controller, receiver and transmitter are all packaged into a 19” standard cabinet rack mount panel unit for simple replacement of an existing repeater.
