Amen to Steve's comments on Logitek. They run 120V. from the back panel to the power switch on the front panel on a piece of Belden 8451 shieded pair audio cable bundled in with the microphone lines from the back panel connectors. Shall we say less than "best engineering practices". Kind of handy device overall with all the audio routing, monitor switching, etc. but they make me cringe.

No, but maybe they have them too. I got this one free from a fellow broadcaster who was otherwise going to throw it away. It is really too noisy (hiss) for my taste, but free is hard to beat, and I haven't found a better rackmount mixer to replace it yet. I'd like to get a Pacific Recorders NewsMixer but haven't found one priced cheap enough for my budget.

I can only imagine what people thought you were a-totin' going down the road. That's a nice audio setup you described. Is that Logitek from Fair Radio ? Fred, KC4MOP was thinking about buying one because they looked good and it was a brand name for not much money. I should probably again float this YouTube video from a while ago, making a Gates fit in the back of a minivan. THAT was a fun project. The transmitter i s now restored and retuned to 160, operating out of Michigan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOfAGCq0SY0 Best wishes, Paul --previous text follows-- Right now my Gates BC1T has a Sennheiser 421 dynamic cardioid mic (set one click off "M"), feeding a Berhinger VX200 mic processor. Then it goes thru a fairly noisy Logitek rack mixer to an equalizer to let me roll the highs off to avoid being too wide, That in turn feeds a 4-band Texar Audio Prism, then a hot-rodded 3-band Dorrough DAP-310 with the second generation AM limiter card. The processors are all running pretty gently. There's picture of the audio rack on my website at the bottom of the page related to the Gates transmitter: http://www.wd8das.net/gates.html Steve WD8DAS ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
