Abstract :
An eight-channel VHF digital radio is described. The radio was designed to provide service to remote communities located 100 km or more from the nearest node of a microwave LOS (line-of-sight) network. Some of the novel design features of the radio are briefly discussed. The performance results of a field trial in northern Saskatchewan are presented
