Basics on Non-Directional Beacons
Non-directional beacons (NDBs) transmit a signal at a specific carrier frequency, but
without a specific direction. NDBs used for aviation transmit signals at frequencies
between 190
kHz and 1750
kHz, according to ICAO annex 10 (see [
is identified by a morse code, which is transmitted at either 400
Hz or 1020
Hz. Due to
the low transmission frequency, NDBs are useful particularly for middle distance navi-
gation.

NDB Measurement and Results
Due to the large amount of different signal parameters, the NDB measurement pro-
vides multiple views for the measurement results.
You can display graphical results directly from the NDB mode by selecting the softkey
in the "Meas" menu. In this case, the settings for the current measurement are applied
to the graphical results.
To return from the graphical results to the NDB mode, select "Return" ([F7]).
