Genasys LRAD / Sony UWP SMA Upgrade (For Police, Military and Emergency Responders)

Service Description

Service Description AU$100 per UTX-B2 or UTX-B03 transmitter AU$120 per UTX-B40 transmitter AU$150 per URX-P2 or URX-P03 receiver AU$165 per URX-P40 receiver AU$250-$285 a pair (SMA antennas included) Many Genasys Hand-Portable LRAD Systems such as the LRAD 100X MAG-HS and 100X BLK MAG SYS use standard off the shelf Sony UWP wireless transmitters and receivers. Simply remove these from the rest of the LRAD system and post them in for an SMA upgrade. Sony UWP are fantastic wireless devices, but their stock antennas are quite a flawed design. They're prone to breaking which causes a weak RF signal and dropouts. The articulating receiver antenna are also prone to wear and tear. The transmitter antenna also performs quite poorly while not being particularly rugged. When stock and in good condition they tend to inexplicably lose signal at medium distances, though fortunately this is substantially improved with an SMA upgrade. This requires custom fitting an SMA mount so that a standard SMA antenna can be added. With this mod you get longer range and far stronger signal stability with close to zero drop-outs compared to stock, plus with the convenience of a removable and user replaceable flexible SMA antenna with the ability to connect the device to larger RF antenna systems. Sony UWP third generation (UTX-B03/URX-P03) and fourth generation (UTX-B40/URX-P40) work very well once SMA upgraded. I regularly see the usable range of third gen units double after being SMA upgraded. Wiring is internally soldered with a high gauge soft wire for flexibility. No original parts are cut or modified and it is 100% reversible if desired. All original antennas and parts are returned with each order. I have been regularly using my personal SMA modified 4X Sony UTX-B30 and 11X Sony URX-P03's as my IFB kit for director and client headphone monitoring on film sets, they get excellent range on high power mode while low power mode also gets great range without overloading my sound bag receivers. It's the only receiver with true diversity reception that can last all day powered off Ikea Ladda 2450 AA batteries. All SMA upgrades include thorough testing to ensure they are working up to a high standard. As these are professional tools this is a crucial step.
