Probably better I not disclose too much... but some extenders are "always listening" and a certain sequence of the right codes and activity on the extender's portable will remotely enable (turn on) the extender operation.
The Officer/Operator can enable the extender/repeater unit from a remote location using just the portable and the right information. As mentioned before... a courtesy tone beeping back at the control head tells the returning Officer the extender package is still enabled. And of course it's not easy to drive down the road with the control head beeping the extender on tone every few seconds. No additional hardware/wiring required and the anytime remote enable feature works very well, but it wasn't installed on all brands & models of extenders (vehicle repeaters). In Pyramid SVR Extenders... it's simply done in software. cheers, s. > MCH <m...@...> wrote: > Actually, I would prefer the park/neutral safety > switch, as the door could be opened then closed to > spit or something, and the VRS would be activated. > This is unless they always left the door open when > they were out of the vehicle (a safety issue). > Joe M. > > Milt wrote: > > Nice, and easier than the app where the PAC or > > VRS was wired to the PARK switch on the vehicle > > transmission. > > Milt > > N3LTQ > > > > > From: "wd8chl" <wd8...@...> > > > OH Turnpike solved the 'radio not in the charger' > > > problem by wiring the switch to the dome light switch, > > > I think through some sort of flip-flop. > > > When the officer stepped out of the vehicle, it went > > > into repeat.
