I just learned that Gates Air will no longer support the PT series. They will not repair modules and have no stock of new modules. Is there a firm out there that will repair a module for me? Thanks Steve Schuh Mike Patton would probably be my first call. I only know of one PT that was installed in ...

I have an older Sangean HD tuner that I haven't found a button combo that makes it split. I have an Insignia portable radio ordered that is supposed to split. Later, UPDATE.... UPDATE.... UPDATE....

A friend noticed an interesting phenomenon that I, too, noticed once but never looked into. 2 AM stations 140 kHz apart. The one higher in freq. is 10000 watts most of the day, non-D; the one lower in freq. is 1000 watts day, 2-tower directional. Likely none of that matters. Or does. These sites ar...

IIRC, the relay output to them was 9 or 12v.

It was 9V, to match the supply in the HU-961.

Thanks for confirming. I bet that he has burned out the relay coils.

I had a couple of those POS Hollyanne systems back in the day, and still have all the documentation that I ever saw in PDF, but AFAIK they never released schematics and I don't have any. POS I agree... I bought a dozen of those things at a deep discount and sold them to my clients at a good price a...

Hi all, Does anyone happen to still have a schematic for those old junky HollyAnne program switches? I have a client (elderly engineer / owner / friend) who has a pair of them being controlled by a DASDEC but one has stopped interrupting the program audio. IIRC, they aren't anything more than a coup...

James, The freq discrepancy is not of particular concern to me but monitoring the xlator rather than the full power originating station might be an issue. I would suggest that you have a conversation with the SECC and/or state broadcast organization. At one time the FCC told broadcasters to request ...

I was not a proponent of the LPFM movement as I thought that most of these licenses would fail due to lack of operational attention and revenue. Not to mention that the LP's would siphon off just enough revenue from a small community to possibly kill a local full service station while not providing ...

My radio entries... Even though I was just a contractor, I took a call one time from a very aggressive know-it-all trying to say that the full C client in question was raising their power for the very popular morning show and then reducing it when they went off. He made all manner of threats about c...

The table radio sold by RadioShack some 10? years ago could do that. Some of the tuners can do that and they usually have a headphone jack on the front. Bob M.

None that I've ever seen. Usually I'll take two portable radios to the TX site, one analog and one HD-capable. Fire them both up and see how far things are off. I hadn't thought about that... However it appears that this radio will do it in a tech menu. It is supposed to arrive today and I will giv...

Good morning,

Does anyone know a a decent HD portable radio that has the ability to split the headphones between FM and HD1 to check time alignment?

Thanks,

Although I agree with DT about the LPFM lobby and think 3-5yrs is too short of a time frame, I actually think that is what the all digital AM discussion is leading up to... Go full digital on the AM and keep the xlator OR turn it off and keep the xlator. Most small market AM's won't have money to go...
