Additionally, the E3 has added RPT-FO and RPT-UPT repeaters and a new LCD-E3 network display that can support up to 40 characters. With the creation of an external DACT-485, the interface is more easily accessible with improved transient protection.

The E3 is a highly versatile product, and can be modified as a stand-alone, a network, or a BroadBand voice and audio solution.
