Systems
Instructions:
Click on the System Description to find what application the radio system could be used for.
Note: additional types of modules may be necessary for your unique application. Contact Daniels Electronics for advice on selecting the modules needed.
RF Modules
Daniels Radio Systems have a completely modular design. This means the RF modules such as the transmitters and receivers are discrete assemblies which do not share components with each other while in operation.
Daniels RF modules are 3U in height and are designed to mate with Daniels’ 19” subrack. The modular design makes upgrades and maintenance easier.
Note, in addition to the RF modules, additional hardware is required to construct a complete radio system (e.g. a subrack, control card and system monitor).
Customer Profiles
Across North America and and around the world, Daniels customers in Forestry, National Park Services, Police and Fire departments rely on Daniels repeaters for critical communications in every imaginable situation from the Antarctic to Hawaiian mountaintops.

Daniels Standalone P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System
Daniels will be launching its new P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System which provides a small, compact, low power standalone system for customers requiring digital P25 communications for a large number of users from a single site. For Police, Fire, or Utility applications the Daniels Standalone P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System is a complete radio system that can be quickly deployed on a temporary or permanent basis without necessitating complex network or console interfaces. The Standalone P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System from Daniels builds on the existing MT-4E P25 Conventional Hardware platform and requires no changes to the RF hardware.
Product Configurations
The Daniels Standalone P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System is configured in 5 subracks as shown to the right with a 1U industrial PC performing the function of the trunking controller. A Universal Interface Card (UIC) in each shelf provides the IP communication path between the radios and the trunking controller. Daniels will offer its Standalone P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System in two main configurations:
7' Rack for Fixed Installations – For permanent fixed site applications such as a small town police force or a nuclear power plant, the Daniels Standalone P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System can be mounted in a standard 19" 7' equipment rack as shown above. 17U of shelf space will be required for the 3 RF subracks and the trunking controller industrial PC. Other accessories such as power supplies, duplexers and combiners (not shown) can also be installed in this rack.
20U Transportable Cases – For temporary deployment by fire fighting agencies, police departments involved in search and rescue or security details setting up temporary communications to protect dignitaries, the Daniels Standalone P25 Five + One Channel Trunked Radio System can be packaged in a series of transportable cases for ease of deployment. A series of cases accommodate the RF racks and the industrial PC, while other cases support power supplies / batteries, power amplifiers, combiners and duplexers and other cases can be filled with preconfigured handhelds.
ET-3 now available with Padlock Fasteners
Daniels has recently enhanced its ET-3 weatherproof transportable case to include padlock fasteners enabling the case to be locked or chained to a fixed structure.
As shown in the drawings below all new ET-3s sold will be equipped with new fasteners that contain a latch through which a padlock or chain can be passed to secure the case from unauthorized opening or removal. Unfortunately, Daniels will be unable to provide a retrofit kit for existing ET-3s.
UIC Enhancements
During IWCE Daniels Electronics and Avtec www.avtecinc.com announced the development of a P25 standards-compliant Digital Fixed Station Interface (FSI) between their products enabling end-to-end direct P25 digital connection from the Daniels LMR radio to Avtec Scout™ dispatch consoles.
The Daniels digital Universal Interface card (UIC), provides the P25 DFSI connection via Ethernet from the Daniels radio system to other LMR subsystems such as dispatch consoles. The Ethernet Universal interface provides the P25 encoded (and optionally encrypted) digital audio signal directly to the console as well as a comprehensive suite of control signals. This allows the dispatch console to see and manage all information associated with a call in an IP format, including Unit and Emergency IDs.
Recently Daniels also announced the development of an enhancement to its existing pre FSI release that supports the Unit ID and Emergency Bit for non P25 FSI interfaces.
