Purpose of Equipment
The NTA01-001 is a remote-mounted adapter unit, specifically designed to incorporate the remote-
mount
ed version of Motorola’s Astro and XTL
-series radios into an aircraft environment. It provides all
required interface functions to integrate a car/motorcycle radio into an aircraft environment, such as
power conversion, mic excitation, sidetone generation, impedance matching and level conversion.

Features
The NTA01-001 is a tray-mounted unit that accepts remote-mounted versions of the Motorola radio (7
inches long maximum and with a 15-watt transmit maximum radio). The preferred method of control of
the Motorola radio is via a TH-Series Tac/Com Control head with a suitable radio interface installed in it.
The NTA01-001 provides voltage conversion from +28 to +13 Vdc, mic bias for amplified microphones, a
remote on/off line (supplied by the control head), artificial sidetone during transmission, and level and
impedance matching of the radio’s audio signals to the aircraft audio system.
Programming of the Motorola Astro radio is accomplished with a PC and a Motorola RIB or SRIB box and
Motorola RSS programming software via a 15-pin connector on the front of the NTA01-001. The feature
is not available with the XTL-series radios.
