I wonder if the soup is/was less toxic to the PC board than the incident I heard, which was when a jock dumped a large orange juice into a PR&E BMX console. Took out the entire backplane and then some. Luckily it wasn't at any of my stations.

Mind you, this comes from someone who's never really dealt with the HD side of things, but I'm curious just what is considered 100% modulation for the digital audio stream. I've been discussing with colleagues about the different references in luFS (loudness units full scale). Since I've never studi...

I had a similar experience with mine. It came back and the high level RF inputs no longer worked. Performance was tepid at best and the bargraph LEDs burned out, related to they receiving a batch of bad driver chips which would send spikes and burn the LEDs out. I'd buy an Inovonics or Belar HD moni...

I thought some of you might be interested in my repair and rework of a DaySequerra M2 with a bad bargraph display board where I demonstrate how I work on SMT mounted components: DaySequerra M2 Mod Monitor: Bargraph Display Board Repair There's a series of photographs that chart the journey along the...

Years ago local daytime AM sold sign-off to a funeral home:

While not quite silent, one of my favorite funeral home spots:

I looked in my archives and I only have a manual for the STA7 if you think that might be of some help.

Did you try googling using the Rat Shack part number for the unit itself? Many times I stumble across service manuals using that method instead of the model name.

For those of you who don't know who "WREN" is, he is Jon Hall, a highly experienced radio engineer based in Charlottesville, VA, whom I have known for about twenty years. He is now also heavily involved in LPFM. Welcome aboard, Jon! Dale, any relation to Hall Electronics? If so I remember dealing w...

I remember how pleased I was when I engineered a pre-NRSC two tower AM directional daytimer using the Kahn AM Stereo system. Ages before I started engineering there the ops manager gave me one of the Sony SRF-A! AM Stereo Walkman© radios. When I first heard the station I swore I must have been liste...

I'd be interested if that helps, Mark. I'm now intrigued to see if I can duplicate your situation on my system as I've never seen that occur.

I have had StationPlaylist crash hard five times in the last three weeks. Not happy. What version? Are you subscribed to the StationPlaylist support list on Yahoo! Groups? Many times users come up with suggestions that solve issues. Ross has been excellent in support, but you need to factor in the ...

My original write-ups of StationPlaylist automation from 2007 and my product review of the Arrakis ARC-10 from 2008 is back, but I noticed with older content they removed my name as author from the article. My author's page only shows newer content of two guest commentaries and a recent product revi...

The site doesn't seem to be accessible at all now with IE8, either http or https. Luckily Firefox got me in but it lost the saved login info.

It's likely the security certs are too old at this point to work, as IE8 has been deprecated by Microsoft for ages.

I also had to manually chase down all the new URLs to stories and articles on this site. Their admin could have easily forwarded all the new URLs so the search engines would have found them easier.

Last print edition I got was March 1.
