Highly Stable DDS Carrier Frequency Reference

Frequency of operation is user selectable via a direct digital synthesizer using advanced DDS technology to produce a highly stable RF reference at the desired operating frequency.

The NRB4 may be easily tuned in the field for the desired frequency of operation without changing/adding any components.

Stable IF Crystal Filter

The NRB4 has excellent selectivity defined by a stable IF crystal filter which provides more than 50 dB rejection 6 kHz away from the normal operating frequency, making the NRB4 much better in situations where there is interference in adjacent channels.

Local and Remote Carrier Level, Modulation Level/Loss and Keying Loss Alarm Indications

Adjustable thresholds and time delays enable the NRB4 to provide alarms in the event of reduction in carrier power, reduction in modulation depth, loss of keying, or changeover on a dual beacon.

Alarm indications are visual LEDs and external contact closures for remote signaling.

Optional Audible Alarm

An optional audible alarm, with inhibit switch, provides a local audible alarm via the built-in sonalert.

Internal Speaker

A built-in speaker allows for aural monitoring of the NDB modulation tone and identification (Morse) code.

Calibrated Carrier Level Reference Meter

A built-in carrier reference meter allows for a visual indication of a change in the received carrier level.

NLA/2 is Easily Field Tuned Using Adjustable Links

The NLA/2 may be easily tuned in the field for the desired frequency band of operation, via adjustable links, without changing/adding any components.
