This is the second Gates Air FAX-10 that I have installed. This one is in the shipping container transmitter site from the previous post of the same name.  In this case, we dispensed with the equipment rack that came with the transmitter and installed it in a standard Middle Atlantic rack.   The Harris rack configuration wastes a lot of space and since space is at a premium, we decided to do it our own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom of the rack has the transmission line dehydrator. The top of the rack has the Dielectric A60000 series 1 5\/8 inch coax switch, a Tunwall TRC-1 switch controller, and the Burk ARC-16 remote control.\u00a0 I cut the rack panel top to accommodate the coax switch.\u00a0 The racks were removed from an old studio site several years ago and have been in storage since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
