Dutch term or phrase: retourgeschikt
In a document explaining how to hook up a digibox to your television(s).

Een retourgeschikte versterker is nodig (voorkeur: niet regelbare versterkers met een frequentiebereik van 5-65 MHz en 4 dB versterking met de vermelding ‘2-way’).
Is this a 'reverse-path amplifier, or a 'two-way amplifier'?
Another example: Let erop dat de versterker “retourgeschikt” is.
Many thanks.
