he Continental Type 418G-DRM 100 kW Shortwave Broadcast Transmitter has been designed and developed to provide high performance, optimum efficiency, and long-term reliability in the shortwave broadcast bands. The transmitter can be operated in standard amplitude modulation (AM) mode, AM with Controlled Carrier-level Modulation (CCM), or digital streaming in the DRM mode (when used with the optional DRM Encoder Exciter). The CEC 418G-DRM transmitter is a field tested and proven DRM transmitter system. The Type 418G-DRM 100 kW Transmitter is the direct descendent of a long and successful line of Continental 100 kW broadcast transmitters. The 418G-DRM employs the highly refined and reliable RF sections of its predecessors. The RF amplifier tube of the 418G-DRM is the 4CV100, 000C tetrode, which is one of the longest life high-power tubes available.Selection of up to 280 preset frequency channels achieved within 30 seconds between any two frequencies Standard Frequency Range 3.2-22 MHz with options of 3.9-26.1 MHz and 2.3-16 MHz New Computer-Assisted Touch Screen Control System, as well as front panel button operation TCPIP Based Remote Control System allows unattended operation, with complete control from off-site with no modification 70 – 74 % overall efficiency on average DRM Operation with standard optional DRM Encoder Exciter, plus all AMPM Modes High-Efficiency Solid State Modulator and HV Power Supplies offer low-stored energy protection without crowbar Exclusive CCM (Controlled-Carrier level Modulation) allows carrier reduction from 0-6 dB in 1 dB steps Self-Contained Water System for Primary Loop Cooling to external heat exchanger or facility water Dual Fan, Epoxy Coated, External Heat Exchanger with Coated Coils for Corrosion Resistance High-Speed Arc Sensors In All Critical RF Component Areas Both PA and Driver Tubes and Vacuum Capacitors available from alternate sources
