Layer also plans to discuss some of NAB Labs� more under-the-radar projects, including work being done by the National Radio Systems Committee. He will also discuss some new and upcoming projects for NAB Labs. �One of our most recent projects, just now getting underway, is the upgrading of our radio laboratory test bed to include FM as well as AM radio testing capabilities, and I will be discussing that as well as some of the first FM lab projects we are considering,� said Layer.

The �NAB Labs� Focus on Radio Show� will take place Thursday, Oct. 1, from 3:30 p.m. � 4 p.m. at the Innovation Stage in the Marketplace. The 2015 Radio Show takes place from Sept. 30-Oct. 2 in Atlanta.
