[BC] Energy Onix AM Transmitters

[RichardBJohnson@comcast.net]

Somebody else asked me about Energy Onix because they knew that in a different life I worked a short while for CCA, one of Bernie Wise's companies. So, I tried to find something that was NOT written by Bernie's advertising department. Basically, I tried to find some DIRT!

This is what they think of Energy Onix in New Delhi, India:

"Energy-Onix is US third largest premier manufacturer of excellent quality highly reliable & leading edge transmitter products with record of selling one ECO FM Transmitter per day giving privilege to user by owning American made transmitter with (Single/Three phase operative) years of "trouble free" minimum maintenance & easy operational broadcast equipments."

>From others I learned that practically every new model had berthing problems BUT once discovered they were promptly fixed. Also, products that have been designed a year or two ago, i.e., not so "leading edge," were reliable and worked "right out of the box." So, from what I hear, Bernie has an engineering staff that knows what it is doing, has production workers that know how to build, test, and ship stuff, plus he keeps a sharp reign on the company to help (re)build and maintain its reputation. If I were to build or rebuild a station, I'd certainly consider them especially if low cost was an important consideration.

No, this is not an ad! I don't particularly like the man, and working for him about 30 years ago was not a good experience. However, his company now has stuff that works!
