ND Transmitters

With the ND series, Nautel showed they had learned a lot from the field experience with the Ampfets. Many features were added to make this an easier transmitter to install and maintain - although the Ampfets were still well loved. 

The ND stood for "New Design"

An important note about this resource:

We have used many sources, including FCC files, university lecturers, historical publications and more, and have tried to be as accurate as possible, not repeating many of the myths of the industry (such as the Uncle Don Story) nor histories "manufactured" by promotion departments. However, I am not perfect, and may well have overlooked something. If you do see an error or omission, please let me know.

The accuracy and expansion of this resource depend upon our SHARING our efforts.
