OUR SMALL TRANSMITTER SHACK, INCORPORATES THREE COMPACT STUDIOS. THE THREE STUDIOS ALLOW FOR LOCAL PROGRAMMING DURING EMERGENCIES AND POWER OUTAGES AT THE MAIN STUDIOS.

DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION; PROGRAMMING CAN EASILY BE COMBINED OR REMAIN SEPARATED.

MP3 PLAYERS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PROGRAMMING, AS WELL AS CD, CASSETTE, KU BAND SATELLITE AND COMPUTER PLAYBACK.

POWER BACK UP IS VIA AN INVERTER AND BATTERY BANK. ONE SINGLE BATTERY, CAN POWER ALL THREE RADIO STATIONS FOR 18 HOURS.

A RECENT THUNDERSTORM, PUT THE SYSTEM TO THE TEST. WE WERE ABLE TO SWITCH TO BACK UP POWER; THUS AVOIDING THE THOUSANDS OF SURGES AND POWER INTERRUPTIONS THAT CAN CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE TO BROADCAST EQUIPMENT.
