How do I install the David IV Model 719 interface software in Windows 10 that has a newer version of .Net?
- In Windows, search “Turn Windows features on or off” and select the first item
that appears.
- In the box that pops up, check the item “.NET Framework 3.5”. This will install
the correct version required, alongside the already installed later version (there
won’t be any conflict).
If I set the cutoff to 10kHz, is my entire signal 10kHz wide or is it 20kHz total? For example, when setting my INOmini 223 or NOVIA 236 AM Audio processors for 10kHz cutoff, is that 10kHz on each side of the AM carrier or is it the total width including carrier and both sidebands?
- Here’s the ‘‘physics’’ in a nutshell… When you amplitude-modulate a
radio carrier (good old ‘‘AM radio’’) the modulating source (audio program: speech/music)
generates sidebands on both sides of the carrier. Each sideband goes out as far
as the modulating frequency. Thus when the INOmini 223 or NOVIA 236 is set for
a 10kHz cutoff, you get sidebands out to 10kHz on each side of the carrier. So
your broadcast signal is, as you supposed, 20kHz wide.
- The current FCC specification for standard AM broadcast mandates a 10kHz audio
cutoff, so the Feds are actually allowing a transmitted signal that is 20kHz wide. Generally,
not only the US’s, but other governments’ edicts for ‘occupied bandwidth’ reference
the modulating (audio) frequency range, not the true total spread of the RF carrier.

How do I get NexGen automation to work with my 730 over TCP/IP?
- When using the Inovonics Model 730 with NexGen automation, first make sure that
you have the latest version of the NexGen software.
- Then go to the Export Format(s) page and select “Standard” for Format and “TCP-IP”
for Output.
- Next check the “Remove Header” box down in the lower left hand corner of the window.
- In the lower right, enter the port number and IP address of the Model 730 Encoder.
Typically the port number will be 10001 and the IP might be 192.168.1.200 or similar.
- In the Standard Format Settings area on Line 1, enter the Lead Text; DPS= if you
want the artist and song information to go to the PS field or TEXT= if you only

How do I set up my old 701 with my XP or Windows 7 computer?
- This is tough to do since most new computers don’t have a floppy disk drive nor
a parallel port. Here’s the short answer, you need to boot your computer into
DOS and not go through a DOS window or shell.
- Once you have made a boot disk, add the 701-USA.exe file to the floppy disk (this
.exe file and pdf instructions titled Manual Addendum can be found in our Legacy
Products section of the Downloads page under 701).
- Once the computer boots from the floppy, navigate to to the floppy drive and type
701-usa This will start the 701 program.
- Follow the instructions in the manual and send the data to the 701.
- Oh yes, remember that the 701 has to be plugged into the parallel port and that
the cable should be pin for pin, all 25 pins. The shorter the better as long cables
tend to have too much capacitance.
How do I hook up the INOmini 703 RDS Encoder with my DAVID IV?
- With a BNC cable, hook the 19kHz SYNC output of the David IV to the 19kHz SYNC
input on the 703.
- With a BNC cable, hook the RDS OUTPUT of the 703 to the RDS INPUT on the David
IV.
- Turn the output level on the 703 all the way up. This is a multi-turn pot so
turn it to the right 15 - 20 turns.
- On the David IV, navigate to menu Setup / Stereo Generator / RDS Input and make
sure the check box for Enable is checked.
- The RDS injection level should now show up on the LCD screen.
- Push the knob and adjust it up or down so that you have 5% injection.
How do I enable EAS messages via RDS with my 730 RDS Encoder?
- All you need to make this work is the latest firmware version (2.9) of our 730
RDS Encoder and either a Digital Alert Systems DASDEC or Sage Digital ENDEC. See
the full guide on setting up both EAS encoders here.
