The National Radio Systems
Committee (NRSC) is jointly sponsored by the National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA). Its purpose is to study and make
recommendations for technical standards that relate to radio broadcasting
and the reception of radio broadcast signals. The NRSC is a vehicle
by which broadcasters and receiver manufacturers can work together
towards solutions to common problems in radio broadcast systems.
Anyone
who has a business interest in the technology being investigated
by the NRSC is welcome to join the Committee and participate in
its activities.
Member representatives of the NRSC are generally engineers, scientists,
or technicians with in-depth knowledge of the subject being studied.
In order to promote the free exchange of ideas during Committee
work, members of the press are not allowed to attend NRSC meetings.
However, members of the press are free to contact Committee chairpersons,
NAB, or CEA with general questions about meetings.
NRSC meetings are held on
an as-needed basis, however meetings are regularly held at the annual International
CES (January), The NAB Show
(April) and The NAB Radio
Show (September). NRSC members must participate
at their own expense.
Please contact Dave Wilson (tel 703-907-7421) or David Layer (tel 202-429-5339) if you
have any questions regarding NRSC activities.
