The KKUA FM transmitter Installation

[holysnappingarsehole]

to the untrained eye probably doesn't mean much,but that's a real good high performance setup.Good job guys

Where's the Optimod-FM? No FM station would be caught dead without one.

The Optimod 8300 (as well as the backup 8300) is at the studio in Honolulu, 105 miles west of this site. The microwave feed carries the audio and processing very cleanly, even at that distance.

Por que esos tubos de cobre en vez de cable coaxial, por que veo unos medidores de presion en los tubos de cobre? saludos buen trabajo...

[drradio2003]

hay, I have an BE FM-35T at WCOW radio in sparta wi. did you have a prob with the plate amperage merering circut? I do it works or it dont. remote works all the time but the IP meter works whan it wants, any ideas?

[donmussell12]

The voltage sample board is the likely culprit. BE can help if you call during the daytime. More difficult for me, being 5 times zones west of Quincy.

dis de andere versie van de kka . haha

[donmussell12]

Yes it is a Shively star combiner. We use a six bay 6814 high power model. You can see it in other daytime videos at Ulupalakua that I put up recently. There are 7 or 8 BE10B transmitters running into a big panel antenna system with the combiners taking up nearly an entire container below. It's a big site, many many KW coming off of that tower.

Thats a neat transmitter. Thanks....I have seen a 10-B used at a station which a friend works at. The AM/FM tower there is features in my video of guy insulators arcing. The ERI bays can be seen during the lightning flash. I think a Nautel V10 may replace it. Is this a Shively combiner in the right end of the building? Looks like several transmitters go into there and thats where goes to the tower. What type antenna and how many bays?

[djjoelnorth]

Excellent footage, thank you for posting!

[donmussell12]

It is manufactured by Broadcast Electronics of Quincy, Illinois. The rated efficiency is around 80%. The antenna on the tower provides a power gain which takes the 19KW and bumps it up to 56KW.

[douro20]

What kind of transmitter is it? Maybe it'll explain why the thing can make all that power with only 9.5kV on the plates.

[drradio2003]

yes 80% at that power level I have a 35t runing at 22.5kw about 72% should re tap the plate xformer. but I have a metering prob on the IP meter it works or dont, any sugestions?

[douro20]

Nope, sorry.
