Radio Link Two Way Radio Repeater
How Does It Work? All of the radios on a Radio Link two-way radio system transmit to the "radio repeater" which in turn re-broadcasts the signal back to all other radios at high power. This increases coverage and building penetration, ensuring that every radio is within range and very few obstacles can block the signal.
The repeater has an antenna, usually mounted at a publicly owned (council) building. If there is no publicly owned (council) building available a signed agreement can be made with a volunteer business that has a building in a prominent location.

Radio Link Two Way Radio System Frequently Asked Questions
Here's a list of questions we frequently get asked by people wanting to either set up a new Radio Link Two Way Radio System or need us to take over an existing system.
Who Usually Operates A RADiO LiNK Two Way Radio System?
The RADiO LiNK solution from Radiotronics is a community two way radio system, usually operated as a partnership between Radiotronics, a business crime reduction partnership (BCRP) or a business improvement district (BID) scheme, the local council, local community police force, local chamber of commerce, and or a committee of volunteers. "Permission" is not needed. However, evidence of community participation is usually a good starting point.
For some smaller town schemes that do not require much managing Radiotronics can manage the system for you. We have a selection of pre-written PDF downloadable documents that help members to get the most out of your RADiO LiNK two way radio system.

Can I Set Up A Radio Link Two Way Radio System?
Yes. Whilst it's helpful to have an agreement in the local community, the reality is that anyone can set up a Radio Link two way radio system. In some smaller towns a Radio Link two way radio system is sometimes an initiative of a single business. If a Pubwatch and or Shopwatch scheme already exists but there is no Radio Link two way radio system, this will enhance the existing scheme(s) and cooperation from the scheme coordinators is encouraged.

Yes. It's never too early to contact Radiotronics about your proposed Radio Link two way radio system. Once you know the size (number of proposed members) of your Radio Link two way radio system and the geographical area you will need to cover, Radiotronics can offer advice on the size of two-way radio system needed.

Case Study
RADiO LiNK for North Notts BID
The RADiO LiNK two way radio system supplied by Radiotronics to North Notts BID separates their system into different zones; one for Worksop and one for Retford. The CCTV control room in Worksop can communicate with licensed premises, police officers and community leaders in Retford and Worksop as two separate Pubwatch zones but is able to speak to both at once if needed.
The North Notts BID RADiO LiNK two way radio system logs when radios are switched on and off, records all voice calls and even shows the GPS location of each radio; meaning the CCTV operator does not need to ask the radio user's name or location - it's shown on the computer screen.
North Notts BID has a robust, reliable and future-proof state-of-the-art RADiO LiNK digital two way radio system, supplied by Radiotronics.
Radiotronics UK has a great reputation, demonstrated by our 5-star Trustpilot rating.
