NGA-601 DRM/AM/FM Receiver

The Newglee NGA-601 is a next-generation DRM/AM/FM receiver (a portable DRM digital radio) designed for digital broadcasters, radio stations and regulators. It provides a powerful, flexible and portable solution for professional broadcast monitoring and analysis.

  • Advanced DRM Support: integrated USAC and HE-AACv2 high-definition audio decoding, with support for structured text-and-image information, MOT SlideShow, text messages and emergency warnings
  • Analysis and Data Tools: Expert Mode for real-time MER/RSSI monitoring, with logging, DCP/MDI streaming (Max model) and dual-mode GPS/BeiDou positioning
  • Interaction and Connectivity: a 3.5-inch IPS color touchscreen with physical buttons, an SMA antenna connector, adjustable attenuation/impedance, and USB and Micro SD expansion
  • Full-Band Reception: monitoring of DRM/AM/FM signals across mediumwave, shortwave, FM and VHF Band II, meeting the needs of both current and future broadcast signals
