Pac-rt or Pack Rats are they are called, is a low-powered repeater which is tied to the main mobile radio in a police or fire vehicle, when the officier leaves the vehicle he normally takes the HT, and the HT then talks through the PAC-RT back to the base station. This was first done where the mobile units were low band (30-50 MHz) and there were no good HTs available, CHP uses them on 154.905 for their 42 MHz dispatch system
