| Transmitters |
The TR.6000 AM Radio Transmitter Model 15.73 is
a tried and true workhorse solution for 0-10 watt AM operation.
Employed for emergency and temporary applications, this model
requires only 1RU in height. It delivers a high quality AM
signal on any AM frequency (10 kHz or 9 kHz spacing). Its input
accepts balanced 600-ohm audio and the RF output connects to
standard 50-ohm cable.
Need a transmitter that's capable of hundreds watts? We might be
able to help you there too. |
| Antennas |
HPR.0990 Antenna
(Maximum Efficiency Whip Design, up
to 270 Watts)
Offering more than twice the efficiency and power capability of
comparable antennas, the HPR.0990 High Performance AM Radio Antenna
is designed for medium power applications of 200-300 watts
depending on frequency.
See the HPR.0990
High Performance AM Radio Antenna webpage.
See also Norfolk, Virginia's, experience, linked right, and the
March 31, 2021, Radio World letter from Paul Dobosz:
"ISS antenna is an option in an AM pinch; It fills a need for
cost-effective, compact AM and TIS antenna."
AN2X Antenna
(Enhanced Efficiency Whip Design, up
to 100 Watts)
Next in line is the AN2X Antenna, which has a much longer basepipe
than the standard ANXX Antenna (described immediately below), and so offers
higher
efficiency. See
technical specifications here.
ANXX Antenna
(Standard Efficiency Whip Design, up
to 100 Watts)
The ANXX Standard AM Radio Antenna is a compact whip antenna that is ideal for applications on any AM
frequency in which up to 100 watts is required.

| Antenna Supports and
Accessories |
|
The antennas are commonly installed on a flat building roof or
on the ground. They can be mounted atop a new or existing
antenna support structure (pole, tower or mast) or the VP.9000 Vertical Profile Antenna
Support and Grounding System, which is manufactured
specifically to support them. The VP.9000 System accommodates
antenna mounts and stand-offs, a groundplane connection, an
integral lightning arrestor and other required subcomponents. |
| Groundplanes |
| A preconfigured
groundplane may be supplied for burial or installation on the
surface of the ground or a flat building roof. “PowerPlane”
Preassembled Groundplanes are custom-cut based on the operating frequency,
power and available space for installation.
See a summary backgrounder on this topic. |
| Station Rentals |
| A complete, portable 10-watt radio station on wheels can be
shipped to your door, set up for your broadcast frequency.
EventCAST Stations
may be set up to admit your
programming, or provide the means to repeat a recorded program
that you provide. We can even record and supply programming.
Just say “go.” |
| (*) Preowned / certified components
are often available upon

products by licensed broadcasters may be covered by adherence to FCC Part
73 Rules. |
