Software supports public safety
Aegis Field Reporting from New World Systems is designed for public safety. This technology improves officer productivity and safety by creating reports that meet agency, state and IBR standards so the report only needs to be written once. This software is fully integrated with the company’s public safety suite of software including CAD, Law Enforcement Records and Mobile Computing. Officers write reports based on information already entered into the system from dispatchers and from the officer’s notes taken at the scene. The field reporting module automatically populates the fields that have corresponding information before the officer begins entering data. The mobile computing software provides officers in the field access to critical, accurate and real-time information.

Oscilloscope undergoes self-test
Model 5105A from B+K Precision is a 150MHz analog/digital storage oscilloscope. This benchtop unit incorporates a high-end digital scope with a 200MS/s sampling rate. On up-start the model automatically undergoes a diagnostic self-test to ensure proper operating conditions. A single button is used to switch from analog to digital storage operation. Autoset, a feature of the model, provides automatic setup of time base, vertical axis and trigger parameters of the signal being measured. The user can then readjust the time base and vertical axis as required. As many as 17 automatic measurements are displayed by readouts on the screen.

Transceiver works with similar units
The UD-401 UHF transceiver module from Ranger Communications is optimized for data applications where high RF performance (such as European PTT standards) and small size are requirements. This module is footprint- and pin-compatible with other similar units in the market such as the Johnson 3474 transceiver module. This product covers the UHF 406MHz-512MHz band segments and is narrowband- (12.5KHz or 6.25KHz) capable. Attack times of less than 10ms, better than 1.5ppm frequency stability and low “key up” sideband noise ensure high throughput and stability.

Hardware eliminates repeated adjustments
The ASB-3 mount from Kathrein, Scala Division, allows the system operator to mount three panel antennas on a single 4½” mast. The complete assembly with antennas has a diameter of 18.1″. When used with the XPV series antennas, a complete three-sector cross-polarized receive and vertical transmit system can be erected quickly and easily. Mechanical downtilt can be added as needed with only a small increase in diameter. The mount consists of two hot-dipped, galvanized-steel three-sector clamps and two aluminum mounting support clamps. It includes all stainless steel assembly hardware. The mounting clamps support the assembly during azimuth adjustments and provide additional support after adjustments are complete. A single bolt on the sector clamp snugs the assembly to the mast, eliminating the repeated adjustments needed when multiple mounting arrangements for each antenna are used. All antenna mounting points are formed with keyed holes, allowing the supplied hardware to be blind-tightened.
