Summary
Summary
The NX5 stands apart compared to other 5kW AM transmitters on the market today with efficiency of 86%, compact enclosures that are 1/3 to 1/4 smaller, and digital transmission capability.
Front panel control of the new NX5 transmitter is via an easy-to-use LCD display. Like other members of the NX Series, it also includes Nautel’s award-winning Advanced User Interface (AUI). Log in to the AUI on the NX5 using a web browser on your PC or mobile device to gain access to unprecedented instrumentation and control whether you are at the transmitter site, the office or home.
