The Digital Nonsecure Voice Terminal (DNVT) is a telephone set which transmits and receives conditioned diphase modulated data at a signaling rate of 16 or 32 kilobits per second (kbps) over a 4-wire interface.[1] It is available in either desk set or field telephone models[2] Field models include:


Pairs of TA-1042A/U DNVTs may be used in local battery (LB) mode as simple field phones, without requiring connection to a telephone exchange. The TA-954/TT, however, must always be connected to a telephone exchange as it does not support direct DNVT-to-DNVT connection. When connected to a telephone exchange and configured in common battery (CB) mode, the DNVT receives phantom power from the telephone exchange over the send/receive line pairs. [4] (TBD: Can the TA-1035/U be operated without connection to an exchange? Can either the TA-954/TT or TA-1035/U be powered in LB mode?)


The DNVT offers the following features:[5]

  • Digital telephone/data set for mobile subscriber equipment (MSE) and TRI-TAC systems.
  • Full duplex voice or data communications.
  • Push-to-talk (PTT) for combat radio net interface.
  • Standard four-wire loop interface.
  • Mean time between failures (MTBF): 150,000 hours.
  • Automatic tracking of 16 or 32 kbps switch loop rate via autobaud feature.


The DNVT has the following specifications:[6][7]

  • Data rates of 16 or 32 kbps synchronous or up to 2400 bits per second asynchronous. (TBD: Does this only apply to the TA-1042A/U?)
  • Loop interface: four-wire line, up to 4km of WF-16/U field wire.
  • Line impedance: 125Ω ±10% resistive.
  • Operating voltage: 24 to 56 volts DC.
  • Audio codec: continuously variable slope delta modulation.
  • Signal format: Conditioned diphase at 16 or 32 kbps.
  • Codeword format: Cyclically permuted 8-bit words.
  • Output level: 3V peak to peak.
  • Input level: between 150 mV and 4V peak to peak.
