Introduction

NPX138N Panel
Mount FM Transceiver
.

General Information
In addition to the general functions that are available on other FM radios, the NPX138N has several
features that extend its capability and make it easier to use. These features include alphanumeric
channel labelling, built-in operator help, scanning, optional guard receiver, and numerous others.
For ease of use and operability, Northern Airborne Technology Ltd uses the same control layout and
operating system in the NPX138N series of radios as it does in its popular Tac/Com family of radio control
heads.
In addition to this manual, there is a help function built into the radio comprehensive sufficient to address
most operational questions.
Many of the front panel controls have more than one function, dependent on the operating mode of the
radio. For this reason, they have multiple labels. When the radio is in ‘Normal’ mode (
EDIT
switch in the
center ‘Off’ position), use the top label and when the radio is in ‘Edit’ mode (either ‘CH’ or ‘ST’), use the
bottom label.
