Frequently Asked Questions
Is PASSPORT firmware loaded?
It likely has PASSPORT firmware installed, so depending on your application, you may or may not need to flash the firmware.
Is programming available with the sale?
No. Channel programming has been erased, and programming is not offered with this unit.
Will it go on the air with my channels as it arrives?
No. Channel programming has been erased and function testing was not performed. You get a repeater in good cosmetic condition with a blank channel plan, and you take on programming, firmware and a bench check. Flat-rate shipping in the lower 48, and orders over the free-shipping line ship free.
The rear label still says UHF FM REPEATER, even with every channel wiped. Load your channel plan and find out how much repeater is left in the box.
