A base station contains amplifiers, radio transceivers, RF combiners, control sections, communications links, a scanning receiver, backup power supplies, and an antenna assembly. The transceiver sections are similar to the mobile telephone transceiver as they convert audio to RF signals and RF to audio signals. The transmitter output side of these radio transceivers is supplied to a high power RF amplifier (typically 10 to 50 Watts). The RF combiner allows separate radio channels to be combined onto one or several antenna assemblies without interfering with each other. This combined RF signal is routed to the transmitter antenna on top of the radio tower via low energy-loss coaxial cable.
