HD Radio is now making itself felt in the translator arena. Transmitter manufacturer Armstrong has introduced a line of FM translators designed for transitioning from analog to digital broadcast.
The TRX-HD series can receive over-the-air HD signals and content information and relay them in HD. “The TRX-HD Series allows a stations to operate their translators within the confines of their HD Radio licensing agreement because it does not take signal back down to baseband audio,” said Armstrong Sales and Marketing Manger Ernie Belanger.
The TRX-HD Series is available at three power levels. The TRX-HD10 provides 10 watts in the hybrid digital mode, the TRX-HD50 provides 50 hybrid digital watts and the TRX-HD100 is a 100-watt hybrid digital translator.
