Having been desperate for the introduction of the BW TX 150 V3 by November 2018, our radio station was suffering badly with other types of transmitters well prior to that, one from Italy, which was the same price and had no audio processing at all, and then another from Lithuania which failed within the first few days (audio + RDS), so never again! and then came along this amazing piece of technology from the UK, with exceptional after sales hassle free service - the BW TX 150 V3. Where do I start, if you are like me and hate the hassle of setting up PC communication to a transmitter (more about that later), everything on the BW TX 150 V3 can be amended from the front rotary knob and 3 buttons, from frequency, power, audio, rds, http remote control, the transmitter even emails you with alerts n times a day, if you wish. (This means that when you are with offcom setting up your transmitter), you dont even need to bring a laptop with you for audio / rds / pilot tone levels etc. Setting up was a cinch, as I said, without any need for a remote pc, frequency, power, all RDS codes, (eg PI, station name, station strapline), and once done, you can even protect the TX from access. (Once RDS is done, just set the level to approximately 3.5% to start with, in the menu). The audio processing is a dream, and I do mean a dream, having encountered transmitters with no audio processing or transmitters which "make out" they have audio processing. the BW TX 150 V3 has several modes of audio processing, at the flick of a switch, and you can hear the effect immediately, to ensure your station stands our from the rest. (A must for live programs). If your station is only allowed say 25 watts, then fear not, the BW TX 150 V3 will range from 10 watts to 150 watts, and then you can relock, and also there is a facility to disable the RF part on the menu, while you get yourself familiar with the setup process, but always make sure there is an aerial or dummy load plugged in, even in setup mode with no RF. (In our case, our antenna cable was 40 metres long (RG213U) to the roof of a church, so having a BW transmitter on 45 watts to provide 25 watts at the antenna, meant the BW would cruise day and night forever. If you want remote access, ethernet, RS232 etc, the web control on this transmitter is the best I have ever seen. Check the web interaction demo mode on the BW website. Every setting you could ever want is there, and all on ONE PAGE, instead of many pages. (Power, overnight power reduce, auto silence/mute). The BW TX 150 V3, has other modes, including external RDS and external stereo composite signal, but with the analogue audio sockets, and everything else built in, we really were back on air within moments, having been let down by other makes of transmitters, which we may never see again, having trusted them to arrive safe at their birth place abroad for repair, and of course the BW passed all tests in every way. If you are starting your own community radio station, look no further, this is the one! If you cut down on price, you end up with gear which packs in, and the extra expense of external RDS and external audio processing. The unit is solid too, so expect a rather large box when it gets delivered!! Cannot wait to play with the lower power versions when they come out soon.

This dipole is destined for an aux site so it hasn't been installed. Only tested for five minutes using a spare 30w exciter on the bench. It seemed to work fine, with very low reflected power. (and that RFD power is probably found having the antenna be 10ft from the exciter) It worked fine across multiple frequencies up and down the band, too...at least for the few seconds I had it on any one frequency for testing purposes.

The package arrived very quickly, I was quite happy with that. A lot of the antenna's mounting bolts had this goopy lubricant/sealant all over them, though. A little advance warning that gloves are recommended would've been nice. But still, the antenna gets the job done nicely - we'll see how it holds up to extensive northern US weather over time.

Here at BayRadio we've used our Broadcast Warehouse studio kit, which contains one of these mixers, for over 3 years. When we wanted to expand our production studio, another Airmate was the natural choice.

It's small enough for our limited space, yet flexible enough for everything we do.

A great product at a reasonable price.
