Express Radio

Express Radio is a new concept in AM and FM radio broadcast transmission systems designed for the purpose of (1) reducing initial capital expenditures; (2) facilitating rapid installation and commissioning; (3) providing customized configuration of the equipment suite in accordance with the station engineer’s requirements; and (4) reducing monthly operating expenses. Typical transmission equipment that is offered in an Express Radio system includes:


  • - Main and/or Auxiliary transmitter(s) for 1-10 kW
  • - Audio processor
  • - STL transmitter/receiver
  • - Remote control system
  • - Satellite receivers
  • - Internet service router
  • - Transmitter dummy load with manual or electrical switching


    • The installation of an Express Radio system (1) eliminates the need for buried transmission line between the transmitter and antenna and (2) where weather conditions permit the elimination of a transmitter building. The customer-specified equipment can be integrated into the rack in accordance with the customer’s requirements and will be pre-wired in accordance with the station engineer’s specifications to permit installation and on-air operation in minimal time.


    Express Radio systems are configured in an outdoor weatherproof painted aluminum enclosure that is designed to protect high value electronic equipment from a wide range of environmental conditions. The enclosure includes the following standard features:


  • - 16RU to 45RU vertical rack space
  • - 19” rack that is adjustable front to rear
  • - Sun shield for added solar protection
  • - 1/8” thick aluminum construction with front and rear hinged access doors each with 3-point pad lockable latch and integrated door stop arm
  • - Adapter plates on both sides to facilitate weather-tight interface with additional enclosures
  • - Pad or wall/pole mounting options
  • - Internal insulation up to 5R
  • - Optional features include:
  • - 2000 to 8000 BTU thermostatically controlled air conditioners
  • - 500 to 2000 Watt thermostatically controlled heaters
  • - Thermostatically controlled exhaust fans with filtered intake
  • - Weatherproof cable entry options
  • - AC power weatherproof distribution box
  • - Generator hook up
  • - External transmitter dummy load
  • - Laptop shelf
  • - Grounding provisions
  • - GFCI quad receptacle
  • - Equipment/battery shelf
  • - Customer-specified paint color
  • - Separate secondary weatherproof aluminum walk-in enclosure to permit service and maintenance of the equipment in inclement weather conditions
