KRTU's
old analogue transmitters
work in conjunction with the new HD transmitter.
|
The new
Harris ZX-1000 HD transmitter with associated equipment and computer
interface. Installation began in February 2008 and was completed
by late March. |

 |
| Though
not much discussed, the upgrade of KRTU's audio conditioning and
processing equipment is responsible for the dramatic improvement in
KRTU's audio fidelity, even on our analogue broadcast. |
This is
KRTU's actual HD signal. HD works by emitting a fractured digital
signal on either side of the primary analogue radio frequency. HD
receivers then re-combine this signal and translate its digital
signature into clear audio sound waves.

In
addition to the new HD transmitter, KRTU added a new antenna for the HD
system. The
"4-bay" antenna along the edge is our primary analogue signal. |
The
"1-bay" antenna at the very top is dedicated to HD broadcast. |
