The Type 1216-A is an high gain amplifier operating at a fixed frequency of 30 MHz with a bandwidth of 0.7 MHZ. Combined with a unit oscillator and mixer forms what General Radio calls a DNT detector. A DNT Detector in its simplest form is radio receiver whose frequency range is determined by the selected unit oscillator.

Combined with a unit oscillator and mixer forms what General Radio calls a DNT detector. A DNT Detector in its simplest form is radio receiver whose frequency range is determined by the selected unit oscillator. The 1216-A is equipped with a meter for signal strength measurements using its built in attenuator. The meter can switched to monitor input to the amplifier. An AVC function located on the attenuator switch is advantageous when used in the null detector role. The 1216-A contains its own power supply and connection for suppling power to an external unit oscillator. Front panel binding posts provide demodulated output of the signal. The recommended mixer for DNT applications is the [[874-MR]] with an upper frequency limit 5 GHz. | ||
