Nautel’s XR6 Handles Direct Lightening Strike – NEVER Leaving the Air
“What was amazing is that the Nautel XR6 transmitter continued to stay on the air at very low power in spite of the collapsed coils. This is why I thought it had come back on air by itself as I got near to the station!” |

Nautel Transmitters Get Radio Disney Out of High Water
“I think Nautel makes the best broadcast transmitters and backs them up with excellent service… if the three Nautel transmitters [an XR12 & two Ampfets] were not of a quality design and build they would not have come back to life.” |

Nautel XR12 Survives Three Feet of Flooding in Sewer Water
“Once we cleaned and let our [XR12] dry out, it …came right back into full power and service and has been operating flawlessly ever since! Nautel has been more than a transmitter manufacturer to us. They have become a great friend, coming to our rescue and helping where they could to restore our facilities when we were ‘down and out’.” -Bill Blount, President |

“We experienced a loss of phase one night, as the local power company blew a fuse leading to the site. When I arrived, both transmitters were still on air and running at reduced power. The auxiliary transmitters were dead. I was shocked and amazed!” |
