Nautel NV40 Produces Required Power Output at -14dBc within Limitations of Transmitter Site
“I am extremely satisfied with the Nautel NV40. There have been no problems to report, and the station is looking forward to better coverage with lower utility bills compliments of the 0.99 power factor.” -Jim Stitt, President, JMS & Associates |
KIPM
 |
Hawaii Public Radio Selects NV20 for Remote KIPM Station
Hawaii Public Radio selects an NV20 for their new, remote KIPM station because of its “high power, good efficiency, small footprint, and fewer moving parts – and a price that would not break our budget.” With a lack of experienced engineers and the logistics of maintaining nearly 100 transmitters spread across five very separate islands, “a solid state device, kept cool, just provides more dependability in this environment.” -Don Mussell, Hawaii Public Radio |

Nautel’s VS1 – Big Transmitter Features in a Small Budget Box
“The Nautel VS1 more than met our requirements for price, ‘big-transmitter’ features and company reputation. What a blessing to a small group with an even smaller budget and staff!” -Gene Sharp, Technician, Clean Air FM Gene’s story was also covered in Radio World, 03.15.2012, Nautel VS1: Big Features, Budget Box >> |
KDKB
 |
KDKB – One of the First Stations in the Industry to Implement Nautel HD PowerBoost™
“I am favorably impressed by PowerBoost. The Nautel algorithm for peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) detection is ingenious. While introducing a smaller amount of correction PowerBoost can achieve the maximum desired HD peak power value with a lower degree of clipping distortion in the signal. The end result is it makes HD operation at injection levels greater than -20 dBc more economically feasible for broadcasters. The proof is in the spectrum analysis of the transmitted analog and HD signals.” -Clayton Creekmore, Chief Engineer |

KISF

Nautel Gives Free Upgrade to V5 after V3.5 is Damaged in Transport
“Nautel would ship it [V5] out at no charge to my company for the shipping or the upgrade. That was amazing to me and I agreed! In my book, Nautel has the market cornered on Customer Service! The good news is I seldom have to use it, but when I do, it is there and top notch!” -Nathan Miller, Regional Broadcast Engineer |

KUVO
 |
KUVO First FM Broadcaster in State to Go Digital and First to Test Nautel HD Radio Transmitter
“Once we commenced with full-time Nautel M-50/V-10 HD Radio operation, I received numerous calls from our listeners commenting on how much better KUVO’s analog FM signal sounded after the change. Additionally, the V-10 has been rock solid and we haven’t had a single glitch with it since it went on the air.” -Mike Pappas, Chief Engineer Update: “As last minute participants in NPR Labs -10 dBc and -14 dBc HD Radio carrier level interference testing we realized we’d have to install and commission our brand new NV15 the day before testing would start! The testing was a big success and using the NPR Labs data the FCC approved a power increase. The NV15 was instrumental in making that happen – as usual our Nautel transmitter ran right out of the crate with zero problems. There isn’t a better designed, better built, better supported or better performing transmitter in the industry.” |
