AUSTRALIA/MALAYSIA Broadcast Australia and RTM Malaysia order
Continental Electronics DRM Transmitters.
Broadcast Australia has asked DRM member company Continental Electronics
to supply two new DRM-ready 100 kilowatt transmitters for two of its
short-wave stations. The purchase represents the first step in Broadcast
Australia's plan to enhance its digital short-wave (HF) broadcast
capabilities throughout its network of transmitters. The state-of-the-art
Continental Model 418G-DRM transmitters will enable Broadcast Australia to
transmit programming in analogue AM and digital (DRM) modes from both
stations, Tenant Creek and Shepparton. Both transmitters are expected to
be on the air and fully operational by late summer.
Radio-Television Malaysia (RTM) has chosen the same Continental model for
its new short-wave transmitters. The three 100 kilowatt DRM-ready HF
transmitters from Continental, along with other associated equipment, are
to be installed in the RTM transmitting station at Kajang, and will enable
RTM transmissions in digital DRM format as well as conventional analogue
AM. RTM's new transmitters are expected to be on the air and fully
operational before the end of the year.
