Rehabilitate and Upgrade Radio System to Narrowband Digital


The National Park Service (NPS) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for a proposed project to rehabilitate and upgrade the two-way radio system for park communications within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (the park). The proposed action would upgrade the existing five repeater sites to the narrowband digital system and would construct two new radio towers within the park to provide coverage in areas of the park with deficient radio coverage. A repeater acts as an intermediate station in transmitting radio communication signals to extend the reliable range of the originating station.
