WTB Used 15KW Transmitter

[sambo521]

Greetings all,
I am in need of a good used 15KW FM transmitter. (Preferably on 93.1 MHz)
Fairly new to broadcasting and don't have a whole lot of connections yet so hopefully you guys can help me out.
Thanks!

What kind of transmitter power do you really need? If you plan on running the transmitter near 15kW, you may want something with a little more power. It's not a good idea to run a transmitter too close to its limit. 20kW is a standard FM transmitter output power.

I may have a CSI T-20 available. It was running at 18kw as a backup when we pulled it a week ago. It is close to your frequency, so retuning would be easy. PM me for details.

New to Broadcasting? Keep in mind some of those connections can kill you!

yea, and the plate voltage is dangerous, too.

Sam is a very skilled engineer. I think he was saying he is 'new' in the sense that he doesn't know many vendors that deal in used equipment such as transmitters, etc...

I might have a buyer if Sam doesn't take it.

I have gotten used transmitters from Transcom in the past with good results.
Looks like they have a BE in your power range, i would stay away from the old harris FM30 as they have stopped support on them so parts could be a problem in the next few years.
