(NAT), Kelowna, BC Canada, announces that the NPX136D-070 Digital P25 Transceiver is now GSA listed under SIN 132-8 of Schedule 70 on GSA Contract Number GS-35F-0374T.  This allows the NPX136D-070 to now be available to Federal, State and many Local government agencies via the GSA Advantage E-buy system at a pre-negotiated government price.

The NPX136D-070 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 radio is fully USDA/DOI approved and addresses the mandate for P25 radios required on USFS/BLM agency contracts after the established January 2010 deadline.

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.  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.
