Overview
The Nachbarkanalleistungsmesser NKS is a device used in conjunction with the Sprechfunkgerate-MeBplatz SMDU to measure and evaluate interference power on adjacent channels of a radio transmitter. It converts the signal to an intermediate frequency of 455 kHz and uses a true RMS rectifier circuit for measurement, ensuring accurate results regardless of modulation type. The NKS employs high-quality mechanical band filters for channel selection and displays the ratio of useful power to interference power digitally in dB. The manual covers technical data, operation preparation, usage, maintenance, functional description, and troubleshooting.
