BE Ships Tube HD Radio Transmitters

Broadcast Electronics is shipping a new line of tube transmitters for HD Radio, the FMi T Series.
The manufacturer highlights the line’s efficiency and power levels for low-level combined operations.
The first FMi 21T transmitter went on the air in August at Clear Channel station WGAR(FM) in Cleveland, combining the analog and digital signals into a single antenna system.
Among the orders received by BE for the line is a recent purchase by Cache Valley Radio in Logan, Utah, which ordered three FMi 25T transmitters for similar configurations.
The FMi T Series consist of three models, the FMi 17T, FMi 21T and FMi 25T, with up to 25 kW FM+HD Radio operation. All include BE’s FXi FM+HD Radio exciter.
BE FM 25T, FM 30T and FM 35T transmitters now operating as analog FM can be updated for HD Radio operation.
