RTS BTR-80N-FDR 2-Channel UHF Wireless Intercom Base Station 4F Headset Full-Duplex 554-572MHz Tx/650-668MHz Rx

Description

The BTR-80N is a 2-channel frequency-agile UHF wireless intercom base station designed to provide reliable full-duplex wireless communication for production and event environments. It supports up to four full-duplex beltpacks and includes an integrated talk/listen headset station at the base. The unit operates on discrete transmit and receive bands to minimize interference.

Key features include Enhanced ClearScan two-button frequency selection, combination tone code/RF noise squelch, and DSP digital audio processing for clear intelligibility. The system delivers a 25 kHz modulated bandwidth to maximize channel density in constrained UHF spectrum. Front-panel controls include independent enable/disable buttons for portable stations and a transmit power level switch.

Performance specifications include a factory-configured A5F RTS C3 frequency allocation with 554-572 MHz transmit and 650-668 MHz receive ranges. The system provides an approximate 1000 ft operating range under typical conditions and supports wireless talk-around (ISO) and stage announce output with relay closure. Digital signal processing and audio gain control optimize voice clarity across connected devices.

Connectivity options include dedicated 2-wire XLE and 4-wire RJ-11 connectors for wired intercom integration, plus balanced XLR auxiliary audio input and output. The front-panel headset connector automatically detects dynamic or electret boom microphones and the headset station has dedicated headset and boom mic volume and gain controls. The base offers compatibility with Audiocom, Clear-Com, and RTS wired and wireless matrix systems.

Typical use cases include live production intercoms for small to mid-size venues, broadcast and ENG support, and event stage communications where multiple users require full-duplex wireless beltpacks. The built-in headset station provides a fifth simultaneous user such as a director, producer, or engineer. Enhanced ClearScan and frequency agility help maintain reliable operation in crowded RF environments.

Installation and operation are simplified by a transparent menu-driven graphical user interface and a large backlit LCD for easy navigation and assignment. The unit features a dual-voltage power supply for international deployment and a rugged chassis suitable for rack or surface mounting. Overall build quality and RF management features deliver dependable service in professional AV workflows.
