Report gone to Manager, I believe the manager is recommending to the board that we spring for the station's first Nautel.

So, if we do this, what should I be asking for from the sales tech? Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.

And thanks for all the advice, folks.

Yeah, TV is a "better-ish" remote access solution, in that there are no incoming connections through the firewall, it's all outbound, but it does mean one is reliant on TV doing it right, and so far, they've been fairly up to snuff in terms of remote access, but not in terms of keeping the...

What are you using for remote access?

I've downloaded and saved those instructions, man they're rude. I'd never use them, but it's interesting to see the lengths people will go, or perhaps the depths to which they will sink, to disable these updates that attempt to keep Windows "safe". Of course, there is no such thing as &quo...

Jeff Welton Nautel ferrite turned out to be a very useful google search term. Thanks

It's not a combiner situation, the other station will be on a separate antenna. We're on a single folded dipole, and I suspect they'll be on the same, or a stacked pair.

I missed this first time round, and Deep Thought's photo reminded me of it. What's with the ferrites on coax? I get ferrites on signal cables, they get rid of RF where there shouldn't be RF, but I'm having some difficulty understanding why ferrites on a coax?

Seems like the Nautel VS300 for the win. You didn’t mention what failure the BWs had One of them has had an exciter board fail, the other is as yet unknown. Additionally, the Nautel requires 240v, which might be more common in your country We're in New Zealand, so 240V-land, so needing 240V is not a...

We've got a couple of translator sites equipped with BW Broadcast TR300 translators, and they've both failed us, so da management are asking is there something we can buy that is in a different class of reliability, from a manufacturer that will be around for years to come, and with support for year...

Deva Broadcast make rebroadcast tuners with composite output, but again, price, the discontinued DB7000 which our station has a couple of, might find on eBay, or the replacement DB7007.

You''re right, and here's the thing - if you write software according to the rules Microsoft sets, your software won't break. If you don't, well, bad stuff happens. The principle of "once bitten, twice shy" applies here. One should vote with the wallet. The ironic thing, of course, is that...

The only official answer is the LTSC branch, but only if you are an enterprise customer. You need to get your head around the concept that Windows at a retail level is not an operating system as one used to purchase, but a service that operates as Microsoft likes it to operate, and thus updates are ...

Hi All, does anyone have one of these? I've chased Harmon support, the now owners of Soundcraft, over several continents, and they keep stating don't have manuals for legacy products.

I've given up thinking that stopping Windows updates is possible, and it is moderately undesirable in the absence of "proper" IT support.

I now just accept it happens, and plan to have a backup audio source on the silence detector.

Some true on-line units are very picky about the incoming power quality, which to me makes no sense, as all the incoming power really has to do is charge the battery and provide DC for the always-running inverter. TrippLite in particular wouldn't run on a mechanically-governed generator at an AM st...
