Popup on the website this afternoon... Dear Customers It is with regret that will be closing BW Broadcast until further notice. This decision was made in the light of the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and recent UK government advice, which the company has been carefully monitoring and foll...

There are a number of medium power dummy loads available as pulls from cellular phone service. Here's an example on the 'bay for less than $50. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CELWAVE-Microwave-250W-Dummy-Load-Signal-Port-RF-DL200-50-2GHz-N-Type-BNC/223937275535?hash=item3423b3a68f:g:ZO0AAOSwIBJaa2pG Rega...

What is an ATU-20 Coupler?

traceroute will only help SOME, just by looking at the number of hops. But, with the way some routers prioritize ICMP packets, the results in any traceroute can be misleading I mentioned that mostly to illustrate where the path goes through Cox's network. The latency figure really isn't reliable un...

If you manage 10 megabits up on a different speedtest server while others are a lot lower it isn't because of your local connection or your neighbors. If that was the case it'd be the same no matter which test you used. I suspect that Cox may have some peers which are clogged up and which one of tho...

I have not used this particular product but the other stuff from Eltima Software that I have used is quite good. This one appears to queue serial port traffic in a way that may prevent a "crash" between two instances addressing the switcher, but then it is up to the switcher to be able to process th...

Someone who has been through this with these things asked me to post the following:

"Change the 10 mfd electrolytics on the ESI board. They're prob open."
Audio coupling!

You should probably reduce the input level so the gain reduction meters are at least on scale. That poor thing is being badly overdriven. Are you running in mono or stereo? Are you feeding both input channels (L and R)? You can put a pair of headphones across the composite BNC jack to check for audi...

First thing, delete the Barix screen photo showing the transmitter site IP address.

All of the Optimod meters are pegged. What does the L or R Filter Out meter position read?

If you're going to go in there, replace all of the electrolytics, especially in the power supply. If those go they'll take the who thing down. I have one on the bench right now which started screaming on-air when one power supply rail started oscillating due to a bad filter cap. Also invest in some ...

What does the latency and jitter look like on the path? Those things do really poorly if the latency is not stable.

Guess I shouldn't tell you about Radiologik for Mac then, eh?

Or the ones which run on Linux.

Retainers are kind of a pain but used with discretion they can weed out some of the underbrush. I do not do on-call so that hasn't been an issue but I can see where it could make some think they're entitled to 24/7 support. I solved that problem by raising my rates enough to get rid of the bottom fe...

The only tricky part is getting the shunt leg of the tee network set to j0 at the third harmonic, but other than that it's a fairly easy job if you have the right test equipment.

My situation is a little different than yours but here's a couple ideas: You can either charge them a mileage fee which includes the expenses and time (at a reduced rate) or you can just charge by the day. I tend to do a little of both. Let's say, for example's sake, that you need 30¢ per mile to co...
