Harris said it closed a turnkey radio transmission sale to Radio Ethiopia, part of the Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency.
The contract is for high-power AM transmitters for stations in Harar (3DXT-D100, 100 kW) and Mekele (DXR-D200, 200 kW) this fall through Technology Systems and Solutions, a local dealer.
The transmitters are ready for DRM and HD Radio conversion. Harris said the transmission system will improve the quality of AM radio in the country.

Harris exec Debra Huttenburg said the country has more than 40 Harris transmitters currently installed.
