<p>I second Ian's warning as we had a problem the other day.
During the early hours of monday morning there was a sudden drop
in modulation level and a definite reduction in audio quality of
the output of the station. Checking the 1.5GHz link output
cleared the studio of any problem so a trip to the transmitter
site was necessary fearing the worst of a major item failure.
Whilst monitoring the relative components of the VHF output and
swinging out the wall mounted cabinet everything returned to
normal so we concluded it was a connection problem and checking
around it was found the baseband feed from the link receiver to
transmitter had an un-locked BNC plug which was duly secured. We
can only guess that expansion/contraction of the loose plug had
eventually produced the intermittency but it was a sobering
experience.</p>
