THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION.

The 636 has been replaced by model 676.

The INOmini 636 is a professional-use receiver specifically for broadcasts from the United States National Weather Service (NWS). In addition to weather condition information and forecasts, the NWS also sends alerts for other natural disasters, environmental hazards, and public safety situations.

The 636 is a software-defined receiver with digital voice enhancement features to optimize articulation. It provides both balanced and AES-digital line outputs, plus alarms for carrier and audio loss, and for the 1050Hz NOAA alert tone.

"For stations that want to provide a quality weather alerting service to their audience, the Inovonics INOmini 636 is a must."
