DALLAS, TX - (January 8, 2001) - Continental Electronics today announced that it has received an order for the purchase of four high power shortwave transmitters from a customer in China. The order calls for the purchase of two 100 kW shortwave transmitters and two 500 kW shortwave transmitters. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"This contract shows that Continental Electronics continues to be the world leader in the design and supply of high power shortwave equipment," said Adil Mina, Continental Electronics general manager. "In the last decade we have sold more than twenty 100 kW shortwave transmitters and ten 500 kW shortwave transmitters to the Chinese."
Shortwave Products
Continental Electronics' transmitters range from 100 kW to 2000 kW and cover all frequency bands. Continental Electronics' state-of-the-art, solid state modulators range from 100 kW to 2000 kW. Continental Electronics' shortwave line is recognized worldwide as the most reliable in the world. Continental Electronics offers full turnkey station design and build-out, creating state-of-the-art facilities for its customers.
The Continental Electronics Type 418F 100 kW Shortwave Broadcast Transmitter has been designed and developed to provide high quality performance, optimum efficiency, and long-term reliability in the shortwave broadcast bands. Operation is provided in standard Amplitude Modulation (AM), AM with Controlled Carrier-level Modulation (CCM) or optionally with SSB.
The Type 418F 100 kW Transmitter is the direct descendent of a long and successful line of 100 kW broadcast transmitters by Continental Electronics. The 418F employs the highly refined and reliable RF sections of its predecessors. The RF amplifier tube of the 418F is the 4CV100000C tetrode, one of the longest-life transmitting tubes available.
The Continental Electronics Type 419G/420C Transmitters are versatile, state-of-the-art, high efficiency 300 kW/500 kW shortwave transmitters capable of operating in standard AM, CCM or single side band service.
From a central master control panel or from a remote computer control and monitoring station, either of these transmitters may be manually tuned, pretuned or automatically tuned to deliver full carrier power at any frequency between 3.90 and 26.1 MHz.
The Continental Electronics Type 419G/420C Transmitters incorporate some of the most technologically advanced components available. From the highly efficient modulator using the latest insulated-gate bi-polar transistors, to the final power amplifier that uses the most modern tetrodes, all components and circuitry have been selected to provide optimum performance and reliability.
