EventCAST Radio Stations can broadcast a variety of content to motorists in vehicles who are on roadways and parking lots in proximity to the radio service. Common applications: public safety information; event information (live or prerecorded); system quality and range evaluation.

Choose from 2 system styles:

EventCAST LIVE is for live broadcasting. EventCAST LIVE commonly is connected to a PA system and / or mixer to extend audio programming into automobile radios in the vicinity.

EventCAST PR is a self-contained system that adds an onboard audio system to repeat audio files created in advance and sometimes on-the-fly during the event. HEAR AN EXAMPLE recorded at Orlando's Hamcation Amateur Radio Convention, February 2020.
