The DR8A-R is a broadcast quality ATSC receiver/modulator designed to convert nearly any analog translator or transmitter into a regenerative DTV translator.

The DR8A-R incorporates the most advanced ATSC receiver technology, using input signal equalization that recognizes and corrects for both leading and lagging multi-path interference, even if the interference is equal in level to the desired receive signal. This greatly simplifies system setup and ensures robust performance even in weak signal areas or when high levels of multi-path are present. An internally generated test signal is also provided, allowing for system setup and testing even when an off-air input signal is not available. Standard linear and non-linear digital pre-correction compensates for distortions in both the output amplifier and the mask filter, ensuring excellent overall translator system performance and optimal signal coverage.
