PAN-1000 was an intercept receiver, designed and built by the Dutch Radar Lab,
Nederlands Radar Proefstation (NRP), in the early 1980s, especially for
the Dutch Radio Monitoring Service, the so-called
Radio Controle Dienst (RCD),
of the Dutch Post Office (PTT).
They were mainly used for finding clandestine radio stations.
Only a small number of these receiver were ever built.
At the time, the RCD was responsible for tracking down and confiscating
clandestine radio stations in The Netherlands. As good high-quality monitoring
receivers were not commonly available in those days, the RCD decided to have
their own feature-packed receiver developed.
Approx. 12 units were built, costing NLG 160,000 each (EUR 73.000).
|
The NRP receiver consists of various unit. The main unit, which is a double
eurocard rack (19") containing the various receivers, filters, attenuators,
etc., a separate control unit, the power supply (PSU), a display and a
control box.
|
The NRP receiver was so large that it had to be mounted either in the boot
of a car or, more commonly, on the co-seat. In the early 1980s, the RCD had a
number of vans and other cars, such as the Ford Granada with plastic roof-top,
that were converted especially for this purpose.
