Rendering of the current design, drawn from the actual parts list. Every unit we build is photographed and written up in the Company Log — including what failed.

What's in the case.

Every unit ships assembled and tested, with printed documentation and a laminated channel card in the lid.

  • Two mobile radios, configured as a duplex repeater
  • Base antenna with mounting hardware; we pick the site together on your planning call. A quick-start whip gets the repeater working out of the box while the antenna goes up
  • Factory-tuned duplexer, required with every unit ($249): transmit and receive share one antenna and one feedline
  • Onboard computer: automatic station ID and transmit timeout protection
  • Regulated power with Anderson Powerpole connections; battery option ($549): LiFePO4 with solar-ready wiring
  • Waterproof hard case with external antenna and power feedthroughs
  • Printed manual written by the person who built your unit

Two versions.

Same case, same computer, same documentation. The radios and the onboard software change with the job.

  • General — $3,495

    GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service), certified end to end (FCC Part 95E radios). Property and crew comms for farms, camps, and neighborhoods. We file your GMRS license with you on the planning call, and the $35 FCC fee is on us.

    Guaranteed: clear comms across the property we map together within 30 days, or we work free until you have them — or refund everything.

  • Secure — $4,495

    Part 90 commercial DMR for licensed organizations and teams. AES-256 encrypted voice: you load your own key in free programming software, and we never see it. Current firmware is designed so the key isn't readable back out of the radio. 136–174 and 406–480 MHz, cross-band capable. Optional offline Team Awareness Kit (TAK) server on the onboard computer ($999): your county's maps and imagery served to phones over Wi-Fi in the case, so the team shares one map with no internet anywhere.

The coverage guarantee.

Clear comms across the property we map together on your planning call, within 30 days of delivery, with the antenna mounted where we agreed. If you don't have them, we keep working with you free until you do — or we refund every dollar.

We map your property before you pay a balance. You know what it should cover before it ships.

What comes with every unit.

A planning call where we map your property's coverage together and agree the antenna site. Video commissioning. 90 days of support. Your first annual checkup is booked before the commissioning call ends; the Watch plan ($249/yr) continues from there with two remote checkups a year, configuration updates, and a priority contact.

Built to order.

Every unit is assembled and tested here before it ships. Get on the list and we will write when the Ipswich is ready to order. Organizations can write to us directly.
