The original transmission setup at KVWJ-LP involved a few separate and aging devices and we needed a new, reliable transmitter to assure ongoing operations. Nautel’s VX Series 300W transmitter, along with being a new design, was the right choice for our LPFM for several reasons.
A key selling point was that the price was right for the features we desired and worked within our tight budget. Nautel’s exceptional sales and factory support is renowned, and I’ve never been disappointed in their dedication in my nearly 15 years working with Nautel equipment. Given our limited resources it was important to know that our investment was one where my best interests are being looked after for the long term.
“I’m a very satisfied Nautel customer. Everything works and it sounds great on-the-air!”
The “Orban Inside” option eliminated the need for a separate processor. The integral remote control/AUI provides all the needed details from one screen and was designed for the future. The compact 2 RU format not only reduced our vertical real estate from 16 RU but our power consumption decreased and our heat levels significantly reigned in. We are confident we’ll see a lowering from the 912 watt-hours our operation originally demanded and overheating risks will be a thing of the past.
“Installation and implementation were a breeze!”
It literally took us longer to make up the necessary connecting audio cables than it did to rack up the VX, connect it to the antenna, plug it in, and put it on the air!
Listeners have let us know that our sound has improved, and with our recent entry into the world of RDS, we can maintain the spirit of radio while keeping our listeners informed.
