[cma-l] Radio Link Transmission systems

[Canalside's The Thread]

What’s fascinating on this one is that the distance I believe between the
Transmitter site and the actual base signal is about two and half miles 
..
crikey !   that’s nearly as big as the actual broadcast area !

 

May I remind everyone 
.. 5km !     don’t exceed that or else Ofcom will
reach for the panic button the Commercials will chuck all their Toys out of
the Pram and you’ll be in danger of broadcasting to more than one man and
his Dog and we can’t have that now can we ?? as it just wouldn’t be Cricket.
Everyone else pleases themselves but we have to stick to the rules of the
fair play award.

 

Remember, our aka name is   <>   Restricted FM                    LOL
:-)

 

A couple of yogurt cartons and a piece of string normally does the trick and
keeps the signal strength to a whimper, and the cost is negligible as well
a fiver (£5) tops

With reference to what Glynn has suggested, if the signal does stray by a
few yards then you can always lob a few twigs in the way of it, that also
usually does the trick.

Listening to the state of ours in certain parts of Macc, I think someone has
chucked a Tree in front of it.

I agree with Bill - if you have perfect line of sight (not even a twig in
the way) then a digital 5.8GHz link is the way to go.   It gives you ample
bandwidth to deliver perfect uncompressed PCM (ie CD quality) audio - no
need for mp3, aac etc compression. 

 

Rather than the free spectrum though, I'd go for licenced spectrum - for £50
a year fee it should be cleaner spectrum less susceptible to interference.

Hi all

 

We’re looking for cheap and reliable solutions to get our “on-air” output
from our studios in Bradford city centre to our transmitter site a couple of
miles away. We’ve got line of site from the top of our building to the
transmitter site.

 

Please let us know cost effective & practical solutions that work for you.

 

Thanks
