NO. Not unless you are going to ground them too. Many, many years ago, a client allowed a local wrecker service to store a few wrecks on their AM property for a few weeks and a few turned into dozens. It degraded their coverage more than I would ever have imagined at the time. I would be curious to ...

It depends... And that's not a smart answer. Depending on the soil conductivity and many other factors, you can supposedly bury radials for several feet and still be effective but typically it is 4-6inches below the soil surface. I have built a few down to 12inches but that is the limit of my plows ...

Cart Chunk is a "wrapper" for .wav audio files, that as I understand, allows the same metadata to be embedded into the .wav as similar to .mp3. CartChunk is a standard rather than a thing. It has been designated as AES64 by the Audio Engineering Society. There are a number of systems that ...

Depending on the automation system, the metadata may be embedded into the audio cuts themselves via Cart Chunk or proprietary scheme. Others have (or at least had) a matching data file for every cut that contained the cut metadata. What automation system are you using? Are all the automation systems...

After having built exactly ONE synchronous booster, I can say that one was two in one... My first and last. Audio timing, level and phase diversity was a nightmare to sync even on identical program audio. I can't fathom how they can keep the mod self interference to a tolerable level with totally di...

Good morning, I will preface my comments by saying that I have installed quite a number of music log systems but know almost nothing about their operation day to day. I typically get them installed and talking to the automation systems and then the schedules and rules become an SEP (someone else's p...

You may already know all this, but... Make sure that your leak(s) aren't on the ground before the crew gets there. Trust nothing... I have found leaking regulators, leaking compressors, bad back flow valves, leaky gauges, etc, etc. Just a couple of weeks ago I found a nicely soldered field flange wi...

It has been a long time since I worked on a DX controller but... Does K1 close? IIRC, the start command closes K1 to start the process. K1 has a set of aux contacts that tell K2 to close just a couple of seconds after K1 to produce step-start. Unless the first step in the step-start process (K1) clo...

I would appreciate it. I have a sample file if you need it.

Regards,

I found the utility program, but not sure if it will work for you. Is there a way you can send me a short audio file and I can test it first? Dave, Do you still have the utility? Both of the captioned customers are still using AXS but one has finally purchased a replacement system and I am going to...

That's going to depend on what the peak modulation voltage is going to be across the isocoupler which is going to be a function of the tower impedance. According to an old Moseley catalog, I see that they are rated at 15kv hot to cold side. A former client had one on a DA tower that had about 7kw o...

_Sometimes_ if you flip the front panel breaker on and off a few times, stopping long enough to see if the lights stay on, the power supply will work for another short while... That power supply is pretty easy to change unless the control cage is mounted in the bottom of the rack. You don't have to ...

Licensed wireless networks are fairly common in broadcast. I don't have any experience with the licensing process but I understand that there are a few freq band choices and the needed bandwidth is licensed for your path/area. I think that there are licensed frequencies available in 6ghz and maybe 1...

I had heard that there was a FB group but I am just barely able to navigate FB and rarely ever look at my acct. I can find enough ways to waste a day without checking to see what time my sisters dog did his business... There is on on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/689090024595437 archive....

I guess we’ll have to start one. The hell of it is they lost the archives in the whole mess. I think that BSI got tired of saying "we haven't heard of that problem" and a caller to tech support saying that there are 50 people bitching about the exact same problem on their own forum. I hav...
