Author: D&M Broadcast Engineering

Setting up a radio station involves mainly the installation and purchase of the various Ra*dio st*ation equip*ment, this radio station is vital for setting up a radio station, thus you need to have some knowledge about the various equipments that are used in this and the features of the various transmitters that are used in this set up, only when you are aware of the transmitters and its functioning you will be able to buy the Ra*dio sta*tion equipm*ent for an affordable price, in this the transmitter power is measured in terms of watts and so when you buy the Ra*dio st*ation equi*pment transmitter you have to consider this mainly. The first and foremost thing that is needed over here is to decide the distance around which the broadcasting is going to be delivered. If the broadcasting distance is high or far then you have to install a powerful transmitter for the purpose.

For example a one watt radio broadcasting equipment transmitter can be installed if the distance or broadcasting is going to be within the radius of 3 miles, and you may need a five watt transmitter if the radius of coverage is more than 3 but below 5 and you will need a 15 watt transmitter if the coverage Is below 7 miles and for distance up to 16 miles you will need the 100 watt transmitter. Transmitting over and above 17 miles is not considered feasible normally, now after considering all these information you may decide to buy the best transmitter for your radio station.

The next thing that you have to consider is the place of purchasing the Ra*dio st*ation equ*ipment, there are many local market and suppliers that sell the devices or else you may even consider exporting them or market online for such products. Same country products are normally considered better for the application and usage as this should suit or adapt to the geographical area of the country or region. This will help you to save some amount on the purchase and makes it easy to set up the radio station without any technical installation problems. In case you need any after sales services it will be easy if you buy from the home country. It is always considered better to buy the entire Ra*dio stati*on equ*ipment from one single vendor instead of buying individually as you not only save a lot on bulk buying but you can have protection in handling the incompatible radio equipment manually under one manufacturer. If all the brands are same there will be compatibility in simpler terms.

If you want to set up a FM radio station you can do so by following the below things:

  1. Obtain the FM frequency for the range you are looking for
  2. The watts you want to achieve on the broadcasting coverage
  3. What are the obligations with regards to music royalties?
  4. What are the specialized service that you will be covering
  5. What is the powered transmitter that will be used and the antenna type
  6. The radio automation software used?
  7. The R*F equ*ipment used in the FM transmission

It is always considered better to buy the entire Radio station equipment from one single vendor instead of buying individually as you not only save a lot on bulk buying but you can have protection in handling the incompatible radio equipment manually under one manufacturer.
