** your feedback on this one needed!  Since it has significant music we're using SBR.  

To get the data rate for SBR we're reducing FEC to PL=1. Too many dropouts???)

KTWR Transmitter Outage

KTWR DRM Listeners,

One of KTWR's three transmitters is down.  We will be unable to continue our DRM testing on Wednesday 11995 to China, Thursday 7500 to Japan, and Sunday 13800 to India until we receive parts.  We are hoping to have all three transmitters up and continue our normal B19 DRM schedule by Wednesday, 6 November.

We appreciate your interest and the information you are providing to us.

Thank you,

Steve Brunson
