Suitability

This is a popular choice in Nigeria for campus type university radios that are licensed by the state for 20 watts. Using this 20 watt transmitter with our 4 way stacked dipole is a popular choice producing a total EIRP of approximately 80 watts.

Stereo with Audio Processing Option

This is the most popular version because it includes everything in one enclosure. The audio processing keeps the audio level 'LOUD', but not too loud whereby it causes over deviation and contravenes your permit. The trick is to get the sound as loud as possible so you can compete with the other stations on the dial, but at the same time keeping your signal legal. This is a tricky balance to maintain, but this version in stereo with our internal audio processers does exactly this. More Information HERE.

Reliability

Like all our products, we over engineer them, this is no exception. This uses a 45 watt transistor, for 20 watts output. basically you can throw any amount of reflected power at this unit and it will laugh in the face of it. Basically this transmitter, is not super, not ultra, it's HYPER reliable

Construction

The enclosure is made in strong 16 gauge steel, powder coated and baked in satin black. This leaves a tough, durable surface that will never rot or corrode and be cleaned to shine for decades. The front panel is 19 inch across and 2U (3.5 inch) high with a depth of 12 inches, so it will fit with ease into a standard rack. It is very strong and difficult to damage even under extreme handling.

Configuration

When we test this unit we need to test it at some frequency, it's obviously better if we test it at the frequency you want to us it on, then you can use it straight out of the box on delivery. But if you don't know the frequency, that's okay, the frequency, FM deviation and power is easy to set in a few minutes on the underside panel controls.

Compliance

The stereo version with audio processing and limiting meets all the regulatory standards required out of the box and pre configured. In fact if you send us a copy of your permit and it's conditions, we will set it up exactly to the specification. This equipment complies with EU/CE harmonised standards and FCC technical requirements for FM broadcasting. More information HERE
