Chapter 2
SLR 5000 Series Satellite Receiver
2.1
Description
The main purpose of the Satellite Receiver is to eliminate “dead zones” in a communications system by
improving the “talk-in” coverage on a particular receive frequency when used in a receiver voting
system.
The Motorola SLR 5000 series repeater is not offered as an exclusive Satellite Receiver only model,
rather the SLR 5000 series can be configured via the CPS to operate as a Satellite Receiver in a
receive only mode of operation. As such, the context of this chapter will assume that the SLR 5000
series repeater is configured as a Satellite Receiver.
NOTICE: Configuring the SLR 5000 Series as a Satellite Receiver is only compatible with the
MOTOTRBO Digital Voting feature.
