We just finished installing one of these units on Mount Beacon for WSPK. Mount Beacon is around 1,500 feet high and is accessed by a road that is a little bit rough. After the snow flies, the only way to get there is a snow machine or perhaps a helicopter. Thus, whatever is installed there needs to be reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transmitter itself is pretty simple, four RF modules powered by seven OEM switching power supplies with two fan power supplies, one for each fan unit. This is driven and controlled by an STXe 500-watt exciter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back has a 1 5\/8 inch EIA flange output, some power connections, remote control interface, etc. Pretty simple overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can also say, there was a noticeable improvement in the audio quality when this was placed in service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
