[grc] Last call to buy BW TX150 v2 150 watt transmitter

[Lanny Cotler]

I’m a newbie, but I suggest you buy the 150 watt transmitter ONLY if you were granted a maximum antenna output (ERP) of 40 or 50 watts.

We at KLLG-LP, 97.9, in Willits, CA were granted the maximum ERP of 100 watts. To get that we bought the BW TX300-V2.

Our input to the antenna had to be 240 watts in order to get an ERP of our max allowed of 100 watts.

The coax line you use and the antenna array will determine the difference between input and output. There’s a lot of loss from transmitter to antenna ERP.
