RVR TEX502LCD 500W FM Transmitter
2U 500 W FM transmitter/exciter with integrated stereo encoder, digital LCD control and over 70% efficiency.
The RVR TEX502LCD is a 500 W FM transmitter and exciter for 87.5–108 MHz broadcast services. It combines a low-distortion exciter, solid-state power amplifier, stereo encoder and digital control in a 2U rack chassis, giving stations a compact main transmitter or a high-headroom backup for a larger chain.
The front-panel LCD and encoder provide direct access to frequency, RF power, modulation and protection settings, while automatic power control and foldback keep the unit within safe operating limits during antenna or load faults. Analogue L/R, mono and MPX inputs cover studio and STL feeds, with auxiliary SCA/RDS capability for data services.
We supply the transmitter factory-aligned, configure it to the licensed frequency and power, and support commissioning with RF test, stereo separation and spurious-emission checks. It suits regional FM stations, community broadcasters, campus radio and transmitter-site backup roles.
