[HATS] On The Air

[MacAllister, Andrew [EPM/HOU]]

HATS folks,

On Saturday we installed the new modulator.  The ID screen comes up once
every 10 minutes, or you can command it on for a few seconds by keying #9 on
1268.000 MHz FM.  I can see the screen in color, but not that strong.  Ed
advises that the power output is only a few Watts.  This is actually a good
thing (that the power is low).  We can leave it on the air for testing until
we have more gain available in the amplifier chain.  Yes, more adjustments
will be needed, but this is MUCH better than before.  The 1255 MHz receiver
is also active, but has not been remotely tested... yet.
