These components are available for rental or purchase, depending on length of need and the level of inventory. The most commonly utilized frequencies are often ready to ship on your command.
Transmitters
TR.6000 transmitter 
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. The TR6000 is ordered on your operating frequency and can be changed in frequency anytime by sending it in [no charge] or by the user on his electronics bench. 
GtX.100 transmitter 

NEW   The GtX.100 Transmitter delivers 0-100 watts in mono or stereo, with local or network control, scheduled operation, internal wattmeter and more. It is 2 rack units in height and frequency-agile via front-panel controls.

Both transmitters are FCC compliant and available for STA operations via FCC Parts 73 and 90. They will deliver a high quality AM signal on any AM frequency (10 kHz or 9 kHz spacing), accepting balanced 600-ohm audio with RF outputs connecting to standard 50-ohm cable. Both units are for sale or rental, subject to availability.

Need a transmitter with more wattage? Inquire. We might be able to help you there too.

Antennas

ANXX Antenna (Standard Efficiency Whip Design, up to 100 Watts)
The ANXX Standard AM Radio Antenna is a10-20' whip antenna that is ideal for applications on any AM frequency in which up to 100 watts is required. Recommended for pole or flat-roof installation with a 32-element, 10' groundplane surround. View webpage.


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 above), and offers higher efficiency. At approximately 20-25 feet in length, it is recommended for pole or flat-roof installation with a 32 element, 10' groundplane surround.. See webpage.

HPR.0990 Antenna  (Maximum Efficiency Whip Design, up to 270 Watts)
Offering more than twice the efficiency and power capability of comparable antennas, the 32’ HPR.0990 High Performance AM Radio Antenna is designed for medium power applications of 200-300 watts depending on frequency. For pole installation with a 32 element, 25’ groundplane surround. See the HPR.0990 High Performance AM Radio Antenna webpage. See Norfolk, Virginia's, experience and the 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."

Need a Fulltime Antenna Solution? The SS.3000 Antenna is a free-standing, ground-installable solution that's efficient enough for fulltime operation on the upper AM channels. Inquire.

Accessories


Groundplanes
A preconfigured groundplane may be supplied for burial or installation on the surface of the ground or a flat building roof. “FlexPlane” Preassembled Groundplanes are custom-cut based on the operating frequency, power and available space for installation. See an article about groundplanes and rods.

VP.9000 Antenna
VP.9000 Vertical Profile Antenna Support & Grounding System
The Vertical Profile Antenna Support and Grounding System is designed specifically to support whip antennas at ground locations where installation of a groundplane is not possible due to site constraints or other considerations. The VP.9000 System accommodates antenna mounts and stand-offs, a groundplane connection, an integral lightning arrestor and other required subcomponents. See webpage.
