KNKO 88.5 Shageluk, Alaska

SomeRadioGuy

A community of about 83 along the Yukon River in western Alaska. We replaced the piece of ancient junk QEI 100 watt unit with a Nautel 150 watt unit. Fed by a 128k stereo stream using satellite internet and a Barix box, and we now have remote access which we didn’t beforehand. Our older KSKO rebroadcast signals also didn’t have a UPS, this one does now.

The transmitter is in the local school, in a maintenance area.

Rebuilding 4 rebroadcast stations (not translators) is going to run us about $45-50K including antennas, coax, transmitters, remote gear, engineers time and flights.

 
The Nautel is certainly an upgrade over Questionable Engineering Indeed.
Did someone bother to change the factory default password on your Barix box? Otherwise, anyone can hijack the whole operation.
