No significant problems with any of the metering, no. I lost the plate voltage meter, it failed during a voltage surge, but it was easily replaced. The transmitter is very stable. The room is air conditioned and two levels of surge protection is in use. And actually I have found the daytime crew at BE to be fairly good about helping with this model line. It has been in production for nearly 20 years now. This one is the E series. We have a 20 kw B series on Oahu as well.

That's a pretty big load cell. How much power is going into the load?

I don't know what you mean by "load cell". Are you talking about the low-pass filter on the output, or the 25 KW antenna load behind the transmitter? The transmitter is running at 16,000 watts output.

I was talking about the antenna load.

Ah OK, no problem. The 25KW load is only used when we are testing the transmitter and don't want to use the antenna on the tower. A pretty standard size for this kind of facility.
