USFS Approves NPX136D-070 Digital P25 Transceiver

Northern Airborne Technology Ltd. (NAT) is pleased to announce USFS acceptance and approval of the NPX136D-070 Digital P25 Transceiver. This digital radio is a complete, self-contained VHF, panel mount, APCO Project 25 compliant transceiver. Designed for a single user, the NPX136D-070 is a stand-alone radio, capable of transmitting and receiving over the VHF band (136.000 - 173.9975 MHz) and can be programmed for wideband/narrowband/digital operation on a per-channel basis.

The lightweight compact design is perfect for the space and weight restriction of helicopters and light fixed wing aircraft. Based on NAT’s proven, user-friendly Tac/Com operating format, the NPX136D-070 transceiver is simple to program and easy to use. Main volume control and a scan select switch are conveniently located beside the display. The squelch test, channel up/down, and display controls are easily identified under the LED display. A separate guard volume and guard transmit select switch is provided.

With no complex patterns or codes to memorize, the NPX136D-070’s straight-forward controls and online “Help” screen insure intuitive operation. PC software is available for fast, convenient programming of complete channel information. The capability to upload and download NPX136D-070 channels allows users to store multiple sets of operating frequencies for quick transition between contract assignments. The NPX136D radio also has 'cloning' capability, allowing one radio's channel information to be loaded into another for fast and easy updates.

The compact radio incorporates solid chassis construction, user friendly controls and is tested to stringent aircraft environmental standards. An internal frequency agile, two channel, synthesized guard receiver and push button keypad are standard equipment. Operation is Digital P25 and conventional Analog Simplex or Semi-Duplex.

Whether the mission is forestry, law enforcement, business communications or other applications, the NPX136D-070 radio has the capabilities to satisfy the most demanding operational needs.
