Time Flies: Does That Mean We Are Having Fun?

Liz Sachs - Partner, Lucas Nace Gutierrez & Sachs and Regulatory Counsel, EWA

One problem with FCC rules is that it takes an awfully long time to get them adopted, and then just as long or sometimes even longer to get them changed. The very nature of the regulatory process dictates several rounds of public comment followed by multiple levels of agency review before any rule can be implemented. Getting even the most mundane, uncontroversial change through in less than a year or two is an achievement worthy of celebration.

The unhurried nature of this process probably wasn’t as significant years ago when the pace of life was more leisurely. People sent documents by U.S. mail (remember that) and assumed they would take days to arrive, weeks to be reviewed, and weeks or longer before a response would be provided. Technology also evolved more slowly back then. Engineers tinkered endlessly with products trying to achieve some sort of technical nirvana. Once developed, it was assumed that these devices would have many years of shelf life before the cycle would be repeated and new models would be introduced to replace them.

Raytheon JPS Communications’ Receiver Voter Solves Problems

The SNV-12 modular receiver voting system uses individual DSP channels to continuously select, from multiple remote sites, the receiver with the best signal quality. The voter can use either a Signal-to-Noise Ratio or Noise Only measurement to select the best signal. Remote receivers positioned in communications dead spots can be linked to the voter via microwave, landline, twisted pair, fiber optics, or radio link. With the SNV-12 providing the “voted” (best signal quality) output to the repeater for rebroadcast, all mobiles and portables can hear each other.

  • Independent DSP inputs vote the best voice channel
  • Up to 12 site inputs voted per chassis
  • Console interface module integrates with industry standard dispatch consoles
  • Multiple types of repeater control and transmit steering capabilities
  • Provides tone keying detection and generation
  • Repeat mode retransmits voted audio
  • Digital audio delay compensates for differences in link paths
  • Local control plus parallel and serial remote control
  • System expansion to 36 sites by daisy chaining multiple SNV-12s
  • 5.25" h by 19" w card-cage package

To discuss how the SNV-12 voter comparator can help solve your radio system talk-in problem, contact Raytheon JPS Communications.
