Hi Rick, I don't recall seeing any. RCA made custom equipment, and control consoles for transmitters above 5 Kw. They were not remote control but were designed for emplacement in front of the large transmitters. Don't know if they made a panel for the 1R. That doesn't mean much, as only have limited information. Have seen one panel with a Gates label and worked with a similar panel made by Rust (to control a 1MX), but don't know who actually made it. The Rust unit used GE meters, and the Gates used Weston meters.

My BT was a typo and should have been BTA, sorry, I got trigger happy. That is very interesting about the history of broadcasting. I guess I am asking more about the BTA 1R2. Several of it's functions are wired in such a way to allow for remote operation. Not everything, but enough to make it reasonably easy. On/Off, power level, crystal, etc. are all included. I am just wondering if RCA or another manufacturer made a console capable of handling the options already built in to the BTA series? Rick By BA series you must mean the BTA- for AM transmitters and BTF- for FM transmitters.
