  • Automatic interruption of stereo program lines when pre-selected header code is received while in automatic operation for insertion of alert message on transmitter.
  • 2 minutes of digital audio storage (5 khz)
  • 5 programmable relays to supply contact closures to handshake with automation equipment or signal other equipment.
  • 25 pin parallel printer port for external printer to keep E.A.S. log.
  • An auxiliary balanced 600 ohm output through a co-axial BNC fitting to either go directly into the FM exciter or modulate a second transmitter.
  • Alert is displayed on a 4 line 40 character backlighted LCD display for rapid interpretation of alert message. Alert message can also be scrolled on a remote sign board, a computer screen or with a character generator on a video monitor.
