Additional Information
The Nomad HDR/FM Lite Analyzer exctracts the RF level from the Inovonics recevier's RSSI information, via a calibrated algorythm to consider the receiving antenna gain and system losses. It utilizes highly accurate GPS monitoring using WAAS/EGNOS satellites and supports logging of 1 station (HD Radio or analog). The system can compare in realtime a previous campaign completed for the station under test or for another station in the same market, to evaluate the differences in coverage and service quality between the 2 stations. Reporting is available via Excel-friendly CSV, Google Earth KML formats or OpenStreetMap PDF outputs.
