This design is intended for groups that need a rapid deployment repeater to sit in place for a finite window of time, for example while they are skiing, climbing or carrying out SAR activities of a broad area that exceeds the capabilities of their hand held radios. Can be used to connect to existing repeaters when field HT's are just out of range, or a stand alone repeater when no other repeaters are available.
The Hasty Repeater is contained in a waterproof case that can be locked and staked down and can be placed on the ground at base camp, on a ridge or other high point of ground and left for a designated period time. Has a self contained Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) 12V battery pack, and an external power connection. The Hasty Repeater can also function as a permanent repeater by using solar panels and AGM battery, and can be built in versions that can output from 5 to 50 Watts.
