[BC] Selecting transmitters

[Fred Morton]

I can speak to the BE 1kw rig (which I installed almost 4 years ago at a 
client's station in SE Texas). Excellent, only one problem in all that time. 
Ours didn't have the matching network, so you must have a clean installation 
(50 j 0) and all is well.

I've worked around the BE 6kw rigs, and they appear to be trouble free as 
well.

I had some experience back in 2000 with a Nautel 5kw rig. It did have issues 
from the getgo, but the factory sent down a rep twice to deal with the 
problem, and it was fixed the second time around. Excellent customer 
support.

My 2 cents worth, ymmv.

I am in the process of selecting transmitters for a couple of AM projects, 
and would like to request some feedback from this group's real-world 
experiences.  We are considering the Harris 3DX-50 and DAX-5, the Nautel 
XR50 and ND5, and the BE 4MX50 and AM5E.  I would be interested in knowing 
about any installation issues, relieability and service, IBOC integration. 
Thank you.
