DANIELS LAUNCHES 8.33 kHz VHF AM RADIOS

Victoria, B.C. Canada - November 2, 2004 – Daniels Electronics Ltd., a supplier of high reliability radio equipment for ground to air communications, today announced the expansion of their VHF AM radio product line to operate with narrowband 8.33 kHz occupied bandwidth in the 118-136 MHz aviation band.

“The aviation industry in North America is moving from 25 kHz wideband channels to 8.33 kHz channels,” notes Gerry Wight, Director of Marketing for Daniels Electronics. “This follows the European trend where aircraft there have been using 8.33 kHz channels for several years. Therefore, Daniels is responding to a growing need in the marketplace,” Wight says.

Daniels manufactures ground stations that can be used in several applications such as ATICS transmitters or as crossband repeaters to extend coverage from airports to distant aircraft.

With a crossband repeater, the radio signal from the control tower is transmitted to the Daniels repeater on one frequency band (UHF FM), and then the repeater retransmits the signal on another band (VHF AM) to the aircraft.

Daniels radios are known for their flexible modular construction which allows custom configurations for specialized applications. They are also noted for their robust construction, low current consumption and extreme temperature tolerance (-40º to +60º C) which has enabled them to be deployed in some of the world's harshest environments such as Alaska and Siberia.
