Our Goal Was To Build The Lightest,Long Range Booster Amplifier.

Mission Accomplished. The AR-20H Booster Amplifier weighs just 2.6 lbs., but it’s no lightweight in terms of performance. It extends the range of your signal so important communications can be reliably transmitted and clearly heard. This 30 – 512 MHz, 20-watt booster amp works with all modern signal modulation schemes and is certified to meet the toughest vibration standards on the ground, in the air, at sea… everywhere. And it has passed all real world tests under the harshest operating conditions. So, put it to the test and you won’t be disappointed.
