Greenville, NC - Oct 31, 2008 - German RF equipment manufacturer Kathrein and subsidiary Schomandl will exclusively distribute its radio frequency test equipment through LBA Technology, a unit of the LBA Group, throughout the western hemisphere.

Among the products being introduced by LBA is the Safe One personal RF monitor. This wearable personal alarm warns tower climbers, technicians, and other personnel working around hot antennas if they encounter unsafe radio frequency energy fields. Such units are mandated by the FCC, OSHA and other agencies for workers at RF exposure risk.

Also being distributed is the MSK-200 digital transport stream monitor. This monitor analyzes digital and analog RF systems through antennas, cable transport and over-air transmission for DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C, AM, FM and ATSC, plus many other international digital and analog formats.
