Don't get me started on BE. I've relegated our AM-6A to standby in favor of our good old Nautel ND5 after BE screwed us on replacement parts to the tune of most of the cost of a new transmitter. The Nautel won't do HD but that's good by me. AM HD sucks

I am surprised BE would do things that way. Not logical, and not good for a quick reset. Are you interested in the MW-5? --- On Thu, 3/18/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AMRadio] 5000 Watt AM transmitter for sale To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, March 18, 2010, 8:14 AM >Going to replace it with a New BE-AM5. That's been an excellent rig for us - we have an B.E. AM-6A and it runs smooth. Only three small gripes: I would like more front panel metering, the "local/remote" switch should have been on the front panel rather than inside the card access door, and faults on the individual modules cannot be reset without powering down or pulling the module. I brought the local/remote function out to a rack panel (my switch disables the external relays that interface the remote control to get the same effect). I'm also planning to add tiny fault reset pushbuttons to the front of each module - I've got the wiring worked out just need some time to do the installation.
