The Boondock Echo is an internet-backed recording and playback device for two-way radios. It can denoise, transcribe, translate, and use keyword notifications to email users the audio and transcription of important messages. Due to its low cost, users can employ multiple Boondock Echos to monitor multiple radio frequencies in an area or create a repeater network that is easy to manage and deploy.
