Re: pic: Al Kills Analog

Yes, it was just pressing the button for the last and final time. Button kills the 50 volt, 800 amp power supply. The next time that transmitter comes back on, it will have been converted to a digital linear amp capable of 18kW but only licensed for 1800 Watts. The transmitter is not that old, early 90's, all solid state power Motorola FET design made in Missasauga, Ontario.
