TEST equipment that was designed for the Typhoon Eurofighter has been bought by local firm Links Communications.

While it is highly unlikely that it will be called upon to perform a task as complex as those on board the Typhoon, it could put the company streets ahead of competitors. The piece of kit is a Rhode & Schwarz two-way radio monitor that has a couple of local connections.

The equipment has add-ons to allow for faster set-up of repeater systems with a high-accuracy digital spectrum analyser and can test and align ILS and VOR aircraft systems in addition to normal two-way radio systems.
