Name (acro/abbrev)	Emergency Transceiver Replacement (ETR)
Description	The Emergency Transceiver (ETR) provides portable dual-band Ultra High Frequency/Very High Frequency (UHF/VHF) air-to-ground (A/G) radios for back-up communications at Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities.  The radios provide at least 30-minutes of operation on their battery pack.  In addition, they can operate from a 12-volt direct current (DC) vehicle power source and also from an alternate 120-volt alternating current (AC) source.  When connected to an external antenna, they can be used from the controller position in case of catastrophic communications or power failure.  They can also be carried out of the facility and operated with their own antennas when fire or some disaster forces building evacuation. A five-year contract was awarded to Motorola in June 1994 for new Portable Emergency Transceiver Model 2000, (PET-2000) to replace a variety of obsolete, unsupportable radios that did not meet operational or spectral emission requirements.  The radios were purchased with a ten-year warranty, training and logistic documentation.  A total of 1,309 PET-2000s were delivered to the FAA Logistics Center (FAALC) from where they were shipped to locations throughout the National Airspace System (NAS).  In addition to the radios, some of the regions were provided with antennas and limited funding to cover the installation.
