Features

• The INOmini 679 is a sensitive, DSP-based (SDR) radio that receives standard FM analog and FM/HD Radio broadcasts.

• Stays on-mode and on-channel through signal and power loss; does not blend between FM and HD.

• Easy front-panel setup uses jog-wheel menu navigation with a large LCD display. Accurate, hi-res metering shows RF signal and audio levels, RBDS/PAD data and reception metrics. Critical system menus are hidden.

• Balanced analog and AES-digital program line outputs are available simultaneously; levels are independently adjustable.

• Flashing-red front-panel alarms and rear-panel ‘tallies’ indicate HD Reception Loss, Low Signal and Audio Loss.

• ‘Split Mode’ audio monitoring aids transmission diversity delay setup.

• The LCD displays RSSI, SNR, Cd/No, Multipath and HD Level metrics to help with receive antenna alignment.

• When issued, free firmware updates are easily installed in the field.

Program Audio Outputs

• Balanced Analog: (XLR) Left and Right outputs are adjustable from

  –15dBu to +15dBu in 0.2dB steps.

• AES Digital: (XLR) output at 44.1kHz is adjustable from –30dBFS to 0dBFS in

  0.2dB steps.

• Headphone Jack: (3.5mm TRS) has adjustable listening level.

Front-Panel Red-Flashing Alarms

• HD Loss: Fixed metrics determine loss of HD Radio reception.
• Low Signal: Alarm and reset trigger levels are independently adjustable relative to the FM carrier level display.

• Audio Loss: Alarm responds to monitored service (FM or HD Radio).

  Alarm threshold is adjustable between 0dB and –40dB, and the alarm delay interval is adjustable between OFF and 120 seconds.

• Alarm “Tallies”: Individual open-collector NPN transistor outputs to

  ground are programmable for logic polarity.

USB Port

The front-panel mini-USB port allows the quick uploading of firmware updates when issued.
