How do radio transceivers compare with conventional radio and telegraph box systems?
Radio transceivers are more reliable and provide better performance than conventional radio and telegraph box systems. They are also dramatically less expensive to install and maintain. Anyone who has installed or maintained a conventional radio or telegraph box system will immediately see substantial savings in material and labor costs. Savings that can often run as high as 70% of a conventional radio or telegraph box system. This is clearly a win-win situation for not only the installer and the end-user, but also the local fire department. No more expensive master boxes to mandate, and no more radio towers/repeaters or metallic hardwire systems to service and maintain.
