Abstract
A wireless communication system and portable radio repeater are described. The system includes a portable magazine having multiple portable radio repeaters disposed therein. One or more of the repeaters are automatically or manually ejected based on a received signal strength measurement. Once ejected, each repeater communicates from the ejected location, automatically switching between passive and active receive modes based on received signal strength. The repeater has a sensor to transmit environmental data or a visual or audible locator. The magazine has a dispensing mechanism with a mechanical or electro-mechanical release mechanism that holds the repeater to be ejected in a substantially fixed position. The dispensing mechanism detects when the repeater switches to the active mode and dispenses the repeater in response thereto, as well as detecting the number repeaters remaining within the magazine and communicating this information.
