Description A Continental type 816R-5B 35-kW FM transmitter, serial number 247. This unit belongs to KWNR (95.5 Las Vegas) and is located at the Black Mountain shared transmitter facility in Henderson. Site access courtesy of Clear Channel Communications and Tree Lee.
The power amplifier stage of the transmitter is located in the three cabinets at left. From the Varian Associates logo next to the nameplate, one can deduce that this unit was made between 1985 and 1990. At the bottom of the center amplifier cabinet is a grounding probe, which is used by technicians anytime the case is opened to touch the high voltage terminals inside to discharge any residual voltages left on capacitors prior to performing maintenance. The second cabinet from right contains (from the top) a Moseley remote control system, a Moseley analog studio-transmitter link receivers, an Audemat-Aztec RDS encoder, another STL receiver, some equipment I can't identify, a Continental type 802 exciter (FM signal generator), forward and reflected RF power meters, and another unknown device. The rightmost cabinet contains a Moseley digital studio-transmitter link, a Bird Electronics digital power meter, an Eventide digital delay (set for eight seconds), and three Omnia audio processors.
